The potential of quackgrass for forage production.

(...) Our objective was to determine the forage yield and quality of quackgrass biotypes compared to reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea L.) and smooth bromegrass (Bromus inermis Leyss.) when all were subjected to varying cutting schedules. Field experiments were conducted on a Waukegan silt loam (fine-silty over sandy skeletal, mixed, mesic Typic Hapludoll) in southern Minnesota and on a Colvin silty clay loam (fine-silty, frigid Typic Calciaquolls) in northern Minnesota.
