Description
Seed production from grass is highly dependent upon favorable moisture and good soil fertility. Both moisture and fertility must be present; one does little good without the other. A good grass seed crop needs about the same amounts of nutrients as either corn or oats. Table 1 shows relative comparisons of nutrients taken up by comparable-yielding crops. Successful grass seed production also requires an adequate stand, weed control, and use of adapted varieties. These are discussed in C 244, "Grass Seed Production: Guidelines," available from your county Extension agent.
