Smooth Bromegrass is the predominant species in most of our forage systems. It’s been shown to fit our growing season well and fertility management has allowed us to push production, particularly in some of our deeper soils.
But it’s not perfect. Fertility needs have increased. It likes moisture, and season of use must be understood so we can best manage it for the current season and beyond. We can’t do much yet this season about some of brome’s needs, but an understanding of season of use can still be valuable.
