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.
Smooth Bromegrass - Penn State Extension
1993年1月1日 · Common bromegrass is not a variety but a bromegrass of uncertain genetic makeup. A moist, firm seedbed is required for smooth bromegrass or bromegrass-legume mixtures. Most often planted in spring, smooth bromegrass may also be planted in late summer, when weather conditions usually are more favorable. Seed may be either drilled or broadcast.

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
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.
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.
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.
Meadow brome is adapted to a broad range of soil conditions. It performs best on moderately deep to deep, fertile, well-drained soils but also performs fairly well on shallower soils. Preferred soil textures range from coarse gravelly to medium textured.

Bromegrass stools or tillers in early spring, just like wheat. The active growing parts of the plant are underground. Grazing is possible here. The central stems next start to "joint". The seed head, with all the leaf bases and stem sections wrapped around it, starts to grow out of the stem. This growing part must be protected.
Smooth Bromegrass - University of Wyoming
Smooth brome is a long-lived, cool season perennial. Forms an extensive sod by rhizomes. It is moderate to easy to establish, but spreads rapidly through both seeds and rhizomes. Plant Characteristics: This plant is very leafy and grows 15 to 30 inches tall.
