GRASS IS IMPORTANT
'BY B,R. CHRISTIE.
, Crop Science Department -
University of Guelph
For farmers and other people
involved in apiculture, the word
grass calls to mind lawns or old,
neglected Pasture and ha fields.
Yet, grasses play an important
role agriculture. In mixtures
with legumes, such as alfalfa,
bird's -foot "-trefolk of clover, or
when grown alone, they are used
to produce pastime and , hay .on
something like six million acres
in Ontario. Yet they arp, largely
ignored.,
At farm meetings and in the
newspapers, whenever forages
are discussed emphasis is usually
placed on alfalfa or bird's -foot
trefoil, . or clover, while our
major forage grasses receive little
attention. Why are grasses
overlooked?
The grasses commonly used
for hay and pasture in Ontario
can be ,made to produce as well
as a mixture of' a grass and
alfalfa, or as well as a pure stand
of alfalfa. Timothy, bromegrass,
and orchard grass are the most
common used in mixtures, and
are seldom grown alone. Grown
alone, these species produce a
pasture, silage, or hay which can
be of good feeding .va.ie but is
usually lower in protein han a
mixture containing alfaIfa or
other legumes. On many » ntario
farms, protein is In shorapply
and often must be pu hased.

mixture or grown a' , an

under poor management. For
-legumes, however, good
management is ' essential tp
ensure winter survival and
subsequent» production over a 3 -
or 5 -year period or even longer.
Thus, the farmer must manage
his Mixtures in such a way as to
maintain his alfalfa'or trefoil.

nitrpgen for themselves and an
associated grass, the. • grasses
themselves do not have this.
ability. The cost of this nitrogen
fertilizer increases the costs of
production. .1
,A. third reason for this neglect
is that the grasses are much
hardier than the legumes.
Grasses are seldom yvinter-killed

What is the role of grass in
Ontario's forage production
PY°Agras rnrn?'
mentionedesearlier,'. grasses
are usually grown in mixtures.
Here, they serve several useful
Purposes. In fields with 'variable
drainage, they will grow and
produce in small areas that are
too wet for alfalfa, and thus "a
complete stand over all the field,
is assured. A pure stand of
alfalfa on such a field would
have maim bare areasthat would
become infested with weeds.
Grasses can also help in
maintaining a productive stand
• for a number of years. They do
this by proteding the alfalfa
during the winter, and b.y filling
in areas where the alfalfa stand.
has become thin. Thus the
grasses provide some insurance
against crop failure.
Because. the grasses tend to
fill. apy bare areas, they help to
control weedsin forage
mixtures. Pure stands cit alfalfa
require a systematic weed
con t rol programme.
In terms of production,
grf., ses will yield as well as
levumes, but ,the cost or the
itional nitrogen fertilizer
eases production costs.
