Timothy (Phleum pratense L.) is the most important forage grass in Icelandic agriculture. No other species matches it when we simultaneously look at such factors as yield ability, feed quality, palatability and persistence (e.g. Sveinsson 2001).

Description
Summary:Timothy (Phleum pratense L.) is the most important forage grass in Icelandic agriculture. No other species matches it when we simultaneously look at such factors as yield ability, feed quality, palatability and persistence (e.g. Sveinsson 2001). Timothy is a naturalized species in Iceland (Stefánsson 1948) and its distribution is mostly limited to cultivated pastures
