Growth of roots, rhizomes, and tillers of Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) cultivars and genotypes as affected by fertility level, cutting height, and season
… were to study effects of fertility level and cutting height on underground growth of various Kentucky bluegrasses during various seasons and develop a technique for measuring underground growth without disturbing the cultivars and genotypes. Most root growth occurred in late winter and spring, …

From field to feed: The effects of fungicidie application and cutting height on the quality and in situ degradability of corn ensilied as whole plant corn silage
… was to determine the effects of harvest cut height and foliar fungicide application on brown mid-rib (BMR) whole plant corn silage (WPCS) yield, chemical composition, and in situ degradability. Foliar fungicide (prothioconazole and trifloxystrobin; Delaro, Bayer CropScience) treatments were …

Persistence and Productivity of Orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) in Hay Stands
… the interactions of high temperature and low cutting height on the physiology and regrowth of orchardgrass in controlled environments, and (3) evaluate yield, composition, and size/density compensation-corrected productivity of orchardgrass and orchardgrass/alfalfa mixtures harvested to four …

Water relations and cutting management of switchgrass
… the influence of date of first harvest and cutting height on yield distribution and canopy characteristics of ‘Pathfinder’ (2-yr study), ‘Cave-in-rock’, and ‘Blackwell’ (1-yr study) switchgrass. Seasonal distribution of dry matter production was established by measuring first-harvest yields …

Evaluation of alternative forage species to reduce risk for cow-calf production systems in the Appalachian region
… of 2009 and 2010 at the late boot stage at a cutting height of 10cm. Subsamples were analyzed for dry matter and nutritive value. To assess risk, bootstrap distributions of biomass and quality data were generated by Monte Carlo simulation and compared against an objective function defined as …

Growing crops for biofuel and forage while conserving soil and water
… 2012. Additionally, forage quality under two cutting systems (biofuel and forage) and two harvest heights (0.1 m and 0.2 m) and water infiltration was determined in 2011. Differences in bulk density, water retention, infiltration and SOC were found to be minimal. However, differences in wind …

Cover crops to regenerate soils and increase profitability in dryland crop production in the semi-arid central Great Plains
… and available CC biomass for grazing or haying cutting height. Further research will be needed to determine the long-term effects of CC grazing in NT systems as well as to determine optimum rates of CC biomass removal with grazing to optimize farm income and enhance soil health in NT dryland …
