PR-646: 2012 Tall Fescue and Bromegrass Report

David Ditsch, Garry Lacefield, Gene Olson, Tim Phillips, Ray Smith | Nov. 28, 2012 (New)

Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) is a productive, well-adapted, persistent, soil-conserving, cool-season grass grown on approximately 5.5 million acres in Kentucky. This grass, used for both hay and pasture, is the forage base of most of Kentucky's livestock enterprises, particularly beef cattle.

PR-645: 2012 Orchardgrass Report

David Ditsch, Garry Lacefield, Gene Olson, Tim Phillips, Ray Smith | Nov. 26, 2012 (New)

Orchardgrass (Dactylus glomerata) is a high-quality, productive, cool-season grass that is well-adapted to Kentucky conditions. This grass is used for pasture, hay, green chop, and silage, but it requires better management than tall fescue for greater yields, higher quality, and longer stand life. It produces an open, bunch-type sod, making it compatible with alfalfa or red clover as a pasture and hay crop or as habitat for wildlife.

ID-118: Roses

Sharon Bale, Rick Durham, Tim Phillips, Lee Townsend, Nicole Ward Gauthier | Mar. 27, 2012 (Major Revision)

Roses have many landscape uses. They can be placed as accent plants or used to form hedges or ground covers. They offer a rainbow of colors and a variety of forms and fragrances, and their sizes range from miniatures to tall climbing plants. Roses may be grown under many climatic and soil conditions and, with care, thrive and produce flowers for many years.

PR-631: 2011 Timothy and Kentucky Bluegrass Report

Garry Lacefield, Gene Olson, Tim Phillips, Ray Smith | Dec. 23, 2011 (New)

Timothy (Phleum pratense) is the fourth most widely sown cool-season perennial grass used in Kentucky for forage after tall fescue, orchardgrass, and Kentucky bluegrass. It is a late-maturing bunchgrass that is primarily harvested as hay, particularly for horses. It can be used for grazing or wildlife habitat.

PR-636: 2011 Cool-Season Grass Horse Grazing Tolerance Report

Garry Lacefield, Laurie Lawrence, Gene Olson, Tim Phillips, Ray Smith | Dec. 23, 2011 (New)

Cool-season grasses such as bluegrass, tall fescue, and orchardgrass are dominant pasture grasses for horses in Kentucky. Variety evaluations for yield have been carried out for many years, but little work has been done to establish the effect of variety on persistence when subjected to close, continuous grazing by horses

PR-632: 2011 Annual and Perennial Ryegrass and Festulolium Report

Garry Lacefield, Gene Olson, Tim Phillips, Ray Smith | Dec. 23, 2011 (New)

Annual ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) and perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) are high-quality, productive cool-season grasses used in Kentucky. Both have exceptionally high seedling vigor and are highly palatable to livestock.

PR-635: 2011 Cool-Season Grass Grazing Tolerance Report

Joey Clark, Gene Olson, Tim Phillips, Ray Smith | Dec. 23, 2011 (New)

Cool-season grasses such as tall fescue and orchardgrass are the primary pasture grasses in Kentucky. Other species such as perennial ryegrass, festulolium, and prairie brome can be used in pasture systems. Little is known about the effect of variety on the grazing tolerance of these cool-season grass species.

PR-629: 2011 Orchardgrass Report

Garry Lacefield, Gene Olson, Tim Phillips, Ray Smith | Dec. 19, 2011 (New)

Orchardgrass (Dactylus glomerata) is a high-quality, productive, cool-season grass that is well adapted to Kentucky conditions. This grass is used for pasture, hay, green chop, and silage, but it requires better management than tall fescue for greater yields, higher quality, and longer stand life. It produces an open, bunchtype sod, making it very compatible with alfalfa or red clover as a pasture and hay crop or as habitat for wildlife.

PR-617: 2010 Cool-Season Grass Grazing Tolerance Report

Gene Olson, Tim Phillips, Ray Smith, Eric Vanzant | Jan. 3, 2011 (New)

Cool-season grasses such as tall fescue and orchardgrass are the primary pasture grasses in Kentucky. Other species such as perennial ryegrass, festulolium, and prairie brome can be used in pasture systems. Little is known about the effect of variety on the grazing tolerance of these cool-season grass species.
