Subject: Re: triticale ?


Faunsdale, AL
One year experience, so just some general observations. It's not going to grow much when it's cold, I would say much better to plant it behind the soybeans and get the extra couple to 3 weeks of growth before winter sets in hard. Then when it warms up in the spring, like Mark says, it's going to take some grazing pressure to keep it from getting rank. I believe if you pull the cattle off it (assuming you have grass for them at that time), you will want to take either a silage or hay cutting off it and then plant the beans. Need to cut it in the boot stage for quality, fiber levels (and tonnage) rise rapidly as the heads emerge. If it's already dry and you need the grazing, just graze it out instead of cutting.
