Effects of Planting Date and Latitude-of-Adaptation on Seeding- Year Development, Winter Survival, and Subsequent Seed and Forage Production Potentional of Grasses and Legumes in Subarctic Alaska

Objectives of the present study were to compare effects of several planting dates on seeding year development, winter survival, and second year herbage and seed production potential of cultivars from three diverse latitudinal sources within three grass species and four latitudinal sources within two...

Description
Summary:Objectives of the present study were to compare effects of several planting dates on seeding year development, winter survival, and second year herbage and seed production potential of cultivars from three diverse latitudinal sources within three grass species and four latitudinal sources within two legume species. Three two-year field experiments were conducted over a four-year period at the University of Alaska’s Matanuska Research Farm (61.6oN) in southcentral Alaska.
