PR-600: 2009 Long-Term Summary of Kentucky Forage Variety Trials

Garry Lacefield, Gene Olson, Ray Smith | December 22, 2009 (New)

This publication was developed to provide a user-friendly guide to choosing the best variety for producers based on a summary of forage yield and grazing tolerance trials conducted in Kentucky over the past 10 to 12 years. Detailed variety reports and forage management publications are available from your local county agent or by visiting the University of Kentucky forage website at www.uky.edu/Ag/Forage and clicking on the Forage Variety Trial link.

PR-597: 2009 Cool Season Grass Grazing Tolerance Report

Garry Lacefield, Gene Olson, Tim Phillips, Ray Smith, Eric Vanzant | December 21, 2009 (New)

The purpose of this report is to summarize current research on the grazing tolerance of varieties of tall fescue, orchardgrass, perennial ryegrass, and other species when they are subjected to continuous, heavy grazing pressure by cattle within the grazing season. The main focus will be on plant stand survival.

PR-598: 2009 Cool Season Grass Grazing Report: Tolerance to Horses

Garry Lacefield, Laurie Lawrence, Gene Olson, Tim Phillips, Ray Smith | December 21, 2009 (New)

The purpose of this report is to summarize current research on the grazing tolerance of varieties of tall fescue, orchardgrass, and other species when subjected to continuous heavy grazing pressure by horses within the grazing season. The main focus will be on stand survival.

PR-599: 2009 Native Warm Season Perennial Grasses Report

Garry Lacefield, Gene Olson, Tim Phillips, Ray Smith | December 15, 2009 (New)

Kentucky's pasture and hay acres are largely seeded in cool-season species. This practice results in a natural decline in midsummer production and often limits livestock production. High-yielding, native warm-season perennial grasses are viable options for Kentucky livestock enterprises and the emerging biomass market and provide an additional benefit of wildlife habitat.

PR-592: 2009 Tall Fescue and Brome Report

David Ditsch, Garry Lacefield, Gene Olson, Tim Phillips, Ray Smith | December 15, 2009 (New)

This report provides current yield data on tall fescue varieties and similar grass species in trials in Kentucky, as well as guidelines for selecting tall fescue varieties.

PR-601: 2009 Summer Annual Grass Report

Garry Lacefield, Gene Olson, Ray Smith | December 15, 2009 (New)

Summer annual grasses provide an important forage crop option for producers in Kentucky. These grasses are mainly used as emergency or supplemental hay and pasture crops, but little information is available on their yield potential. The purpose of this publication is to summarize the University of Kentucky 2007-2009 forage yield trials with sudangrass, sorghum/sudangrass, millets, and teff.

PR-603: 2009 Fruit and Vegetable Research Report

Doug Archbold, Paul Bachi, Julie Beale, Tim Coolong, Vaden Fenton, John Hartman, Ryan Hays, Otto Hoffman, Nathan Howard, Nathan Howell, June Johnston, Terry Jones, Amy Poston, Sara Long, Brandon O'Daniel, Janet Pfeiffer, Rebecca Schnelle, Kenny Seebold, Pam Sigler, Darrell Slone, Chris Smigell, John Snyder, Dave Spalding, Crystal Sparks, John Strang, Ginny Travis, Richard Warner, Jeff Wheeler, John Wilhoit, Patsy Wilson, Dwight Wolfe | December 11, 2009 (New)

The 2009 Fruit and Vegetable Crops Research Report includes results for more than 45 field research and demonstration trials that were conducted in 19 counties in Kentucky. Many of these reports include data on varietal performance as well as different production methods in an effort to provide growers with better tools that they can use to improve fruit and vegetable production in Kentucky.
