Crabgrass for Forage: Management from the 1990s/Crabgrass Forage Yields as Influenced by Forage Harvesting Regimes

Table 5. Crabgrass forage yields as influenced by residue height at seed maturity forage harvest only (Two-Year Average)

Harvest Regimen			Oven-Dry Weights (Lbs./Ac.)

Trt. No	Treatment	Avg. Rec. Per¹	Season Total²	Rel. %

5	Harvest to 3-in. residue at seed maturity	58	8,830A	100
6	Harvest to 6-in. residue at seed maturity	58	10,511 B	119

¹ Average recovery period from stand emergence to final harvest. ³ Yields followed by a different letter are statistically different at the .05 level, Duncan's multiple range test.
