Winterfat seed viability and dormant season livestock grazing

Creator:

Leary, Ryan

Abstract:

Krascheninnikovia lanata (winterfat) is a valuable forage species with an average of 10% crude protein during winter when there are few nutritious options for livestock and wildlife. However, excessive grazing throughout the west has negatively impacted survival of winterfat stands. We hypothesized that four years rest from dormant season livestock...

Nutritional characteristics of dormant season grazing within a winterfat (Krascheninnikovia lanata (Gueldenstaedt)) dominated plant community, and the effect of seedbed preparation on the emergence and survival of winterfat and squirreltail (Elymus elymoides (Raf.) Swezey) seedlings

Estes, Mark G.

Abstract:

The effect of seedbed preparation on the emergence and survival of winterfat (Krascheninnikovia lanata (Gueldenstaedt)) and squirreltail (Elymus elymoides (Raf.) Swezey)) seedlings was determined, while quantifying nutritional changes through the dormant season for four range species. In November of 2004 twenty 9m x 8m plots were randomly prepared with one...
