Panicum coloratum seed yield components in a farmer's field under diverse fertilization

Abstract

Kleingrass (Panicum coloratum var. coloratum) is widely adapted to Argentinian Central La Pampa region, with desirable traits including persistence and high nutrition value. Despite this, Kleingrass utilization by growers has been limited due to seed scarcity and erratic success in pasture establishment. The objective of this study was to compare seed yield components and forage remaining after harvest under different rates of N fertilization in a farmer ’s field.
