“…Newell and Anderson (1962) reported that smooth bromegrass retains its palatability to livestock over a considerably longer period than many other grasses. Barth et al (1959) reported that both brome and reed canary hay contained about 55% TDN on a dry matter basis, and Davis et al ( 1967) found that the digestible organic matter in fresh frozen reed canary was equal to or greater than that of brome.…”

The objectives of this study were to determine the influence of the apparent lack of palatability of reed canarygrass on performance of grazing dairy animals and to compare quality and yielding ability of smooth bromegrass vs. reed canarygrass through measurement of gains per animal and gains per hectare when the two grasses were grazed alone under two grazing pressures. In a preliminary pasture palatability trial, dairy heifers showed a distinct preference for brome over reed canary. A 4−year pasture production study revealed, however, that average daily gains of heifers restricted to rotational grazing within only brome or reed canary did not differ (0.74 kg for each). Also reed canary produced 20% more heifer gain per hectare than brome due to greater carrying capacity. The heavier grazing pressure caused a slight but significant reduction in average daily gains per heifer, but it resulted in increases in heifer gain per hectare over the lighter grazing pressure (19% for reed canary and 16% for brome). The preference of heifers for brome over reed canary was of little or no practical significance when the two grasses were grazed individually without choice. Reed canary was obviously higher yielding and more persistent than brome, and these traits merit recommendation of reed canary for pasture situations in which a pure stand of grass on upland mineral soil is desired.

“…Reed canarygrass was more digestible than alfalfa in all of the nine entitles determined except protein, nitrogen-free extract and llgnln. Barth et al (1958) found that protein and apparent digestibility of the protein in reed canarygrass and bromegrass hays were increased i*en grown under increased soil nitrogen levels.…”

Reed canarygrass, Phalaris arundinacea L., is a widely distributed and adapted species. Schoth (1929) reported that it was found in the United States from the New England States westward to the Pacific Coast and as far south as Tennessee. Reed canarygrass is native to the temperate portions of Europe, Asia and North America. According to Anderson (1961), the species has been found throughout most of the northern hemisphere and, as introductions, on all of the continents in the southern hemisphere except Antarctica. Schoth (1929) reported that, in the United States, reed canarygrass was first cultivated in the Coquille Valley of Coos County, Oregon about 1885. There are indications (Arnv et al.. 1929; Schoth, 1929; Alway, 1931) that the species was cultivated in England in 1824 and in Germany about 1850. According to Trumble (1933), reed canarygrass was evidently in general use as a fodder plant in southern Sweden as early as 1749. Agronomic characteristics Reed canarygrass is generally considered to be adapted to marshes, river banks and moist places; however, Hilkins and Hughes (1932) found it to be more drought resistant than 12 other grasses including smooth bromegrass and orchard grass. Similar results were obtained by the Illinois Agriculture Experiment Station (1937). They observed that reed canarygrass withstood drought better than the other grasses under test and was the only one to make active vegetative growth during July of a 4 dry year. According to Evans and Ely (1941) reed canarygrass. In contrast to smooth bromegrass, was not winter hardy at College, Alaska 64° 51' north latitude. They also observed that leaves of reed canarygrass were more sensitive to frost than leaves of timothy, red top, Kentucky bluegrass, and some other northern meadow and pasture grasses. Wllklns and Hughes (1932) reported that over a four-year period reed canarygrass yielded the most hay of seven grasses tested. Smooth brome grass and orchardgrass produced 70 percent and 40 percent as much bay respectively as reed canarygrass. Hashko and Pennington (1956) obtained average seasonal hay yields of 3.45, 2.75, 3.03 and 3.24 tons per acre from pure stands of orchardgrass, bromegrass, tall fescue and reed canary grass, respectively, over three years and four locations in Pennsylvania.
