Cool-Season Grasses

Bromegrass

Description
Bromegrass is a diverse family with species that range from annuals to long-lived perennials. In our program, we concentrate on improved bromes that give increased yield and faster emergence than some other varieties.  All bromes are large-seeded and care must be taken to make sure the seed doesn’t bridge in the drill. Also, bromes need to be seeded at the correct depth. Broadcasting is not recommended.

Management
Bromegrass requires high fertility levels and well-drained soils.  Recommended seeding depth is 0.5 inch.

  • Hakari is a late maturing brome that both yields well and holds its quality even when headed out.
  • Overall quality is better than orchardgrass.
  • This variety is very palatable and works well for grazing, even in dry weather conditions.
