Description
Pot experiments were conducted to evaluate herbage production and feeding value of Hordeum bulbosum L. during 1988-1990. After spring sowing, tiller and leaf number increased remarkably until the autumn of the seeding year. Three cuttings with 2-month intervals from June gave high production. With autumn sowing, 3-4 cuttings in a growing season assured good regrowth and high production during 2 years after sowing. This grass is of high herbage quality except in heading stage.
