Calcium And Phosphorus Content Of Grasses At Different Stages Of Growth, G.F. Gastler, A.L. Moxon Jul 1944

Calcium And Phosphorus Content Of Grasses At Different Stages Of Growth, G.F. Gastler, A.L. Moxon

Agricultural Experiment Station Chemistry Pamphlets (1943-1944)

The attached tables and graph show the calcium and phosphorus content of Western Wheat grass {Agropyron smithii) and Blue Grama grass (Bouteloua, gracilis) at different stages of growth. The percentages are calculated on an air dr-/ basis which would be comparable with the moisture content of very dry hay. Tne values, therefore, represent the approximate calcium and phosphorus levels in hay made from these grasses ~f they are cut at the stages indicated in the graph and tables.


Protein Content Of Grasses At Different Stages Of Growth, G.F. Gastler, A.L. Moxon Dec 1943

Protein Content Of Grasses At Different Stages Of Growth, G.F. Gastler, A.L. Moxon

Agricultural Experiment Station Chemistry Pamphlets (1943-1944)

The two attached tables indicate the changes in protein content of Western Wheat grass and Blue Green grass at different stages of growth. The values are based on an air dry basis which would be comparable with the moisture content of dry hay. The values, therefore, indicate the approximate protein content of hay made from these grasses if cut at the stages indicated in the tables.
