BROMUS INERMIS LEYSS.
Smooth Bromegrass
Smooth bromegrass is one of the most productive and palatable forage grasses available. It is widely used in mixtures with legumes for pasture, hay, or silage. It is high in protein content and relatively low in crude-fiber content. When used in pasture mixtures, a faster recovering grass such as orchardgrass should be included to increase grass content.
Key features
- Cool-season perennial grass
