Planting Smooth Brome Pastures in Fall - Kansas State University
2024年7月22日 · Drilling smooth brome seed is the preferred method of seeding. Drilling ensures uniform seed distribution, accurate seeding rates, and uniform depth of coverage. For best results, smooth brome should be seeded ¼ to ½ inch deep. Broadcasting brome on the surface with shallow incorporation can result in good stands of brome.

2000年5月1日 · In Missouri, smooth bromegrass may be planted from late February through early April and in September. Of these, a September planting is the most likely to be successful. Seedlings of smooth bromegrass experience less competition from weeds in the fall and will become fully established the following spring, enabling them to endure the next summer.
September planting. No-till seeding of brome has emerged as a viable planting method. Seedbed Preparation. The ideal smooth brome seedbed is firm, moist, free of weeds, and adequately fertilized and limed. For best results, minimize weed competition, obtain uniform seed distribution, plant shallow and evenly cover seed with soil. Many smooth
Meadow brome performs well on soil textures ranging from shallow to deep, coarse gravely to medium textured, well to moderately well drained, and moderately acidic to weakly saline to alkali. It performs best on fertile, moderately deep to deep, well-drained soils. It does not grow well in saline soils and wet areas with high water tables.
Smooth brome can be planted in late summer, early fall, winter or early spring (Figure 1). Winter and spring plantings are not recommended on droughty clay-pan soils because bromegrass will not survive if a hot, dry summer follows planting. Cool-season grasses are established most successfully with late summer or fall plantings.
Bromus inermis, smooth brome, is a leafy, sod-forming, perennial, cool season grass that spreads by rhizomes. This species is both native and introduced. The stems vary in height from 2 to 4 feet. The plant produces numerous basal and stem leaves that vary in length from 4 to 10 inches.

2014年8月12日 · Smooth brome will grow on moderately acid soils, but does best on near neutral pH soils. Because smooth brome stands can remain productive for 20 years or longer, correcting soil pH prior to seeding is essential. Needed lime should be added and thoroughly mixed to a soil depth of six inches as far ahead of planting as possible. Nitrogen.
