Guide to the Common Forages and Weeds of Pastures

Forages are the foundation of a successful grazing operation. From a biological perspective, there are three important concepts to understand when planning a forage system: (1) forage yield & yield distribution; (2) forage quality; & (3) stand persistence or reliability. Although all three factors are interrelated, this guide looks at each of them separately. It also discusses types of forages: cool-season grasses, warm-season grasses, legumes, & other; & types of weeds: grasses & grass-like weeds, & broadleaf weeds. The guide also includes a glossary of terms & a diagram showing the anatomy of a grass tiller.
