N, P, And K Fertilization For Newly Established Tall Fescue, D. W. Sweeney, J. L. Moyer, J. K. Farney Jan 2016

N, P, And K Fertilization For Newly Established Tall Fescue, D. W. Sweeney, J. L. Moyer, J. K. Farney

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

Second-year production of tall fescue was affected by nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) fertilization rates at Site 1 in 2014 and only by N fertilization rates at Site 2 in 2015, with little effect from potassium (K) fertilization at either site.


Evaluation Of Tall Fescue Cultivars, J. L. Moyer Jan 2016

Evaluation Of Tall Fescue Cultivars, J. L. Moyer

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

Spring 2015 yield was higher for ‘Ky 31 EF’ than for nine of the 19 other entries. Summer production of ‘PBU-B7’ was greater than for five lower-yielding entries. Total 2015 production was greater for ‘PBU-B1’ and Ky 31 EF than for seven other cultivars.


Including Legumes In Bermudagrass Pastures, J. L. Moyer, L. W. Lomas Jan 2016

Including Legumes In Bermudagrass Pastures, J. L. Moyer, L. W. Lomas

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

Use of legumes in bermudagrass pastures has often increased summer cow gains. Forage production was greater where ladino clover was used in the Legume system than where Nitrogen (N) alone was used in the first sampling, but the reverse was true in midsummer. Estimated forage crude protein during 2015 was greater for the Legume than the Nitrogen system in the first and last samplings, but similar in mid-summer pasture. Cow performance over the season was increased 68% where legumes were used.


Adaptability Of Miscanthus Cultivars For Biomass Production, J. L. Moyer Jan 2016

Adaptability Of Miscanthus Cultivars For Biomass Production, J. L. Moyer

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

In 2015, miscanthus dry matter (DM) did not differ between cultivars, averaging 10,250 lb DM/a. Total three-year production for the cultivars was also similar, averaging 26,170 lb/a.


Forage Production Of Hay-Type Sorghum Cultivars, J. L. Moyer, J. D. Holman Jan 2016

Forage Production Of Hay-Type Sorghum Cultivars, J. L. Moyer, J. D. Holman

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

Forage production was measured from three cuttings of 14 hay-type sorghum-sudan entries. Total annual yield was greater from ‘AS5201’, ‘Sweet Sioux WMR’, and ‘AS9302’ than from five lower-yielding cultivars.


Nitrogen Management For Teff Hay Production, D. H. Min, J. L. Moyer Jan 2016

Nitrogen Management For Teff Hay Production, D. H. Min, J. L. Moyer

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

Fertilization of teff with the ESN source of nitrogen (N) at the higher rates, 100 and 125 lb N/a resulted in increased seasonal forage production. The primary increase occurred in the second of three cuttings.
