Overseeding whipgrass with cool‐season annuals to increase pasture yield and quality in southwest China
Haying Guangyi whipgrass (Hemarthria comp ressa ) is a common farming practice in southwestern China.However, it is currently only feasible in summer.Sowing cool‐season annual forages on dormant whipgrass pasture in autumn may provide more ground cover over winter and generate earlier spring growth than whipgrass alone.This would have high potential in increasing the dry matter and feed quality of hay in the region (Yang,2004).This study aims to explore the effect of sowing different combinations of winter annual forages on dormant whipgrass pasture in autumn on feed quality and availability throughout a year.
