Abstract:

Most cool-season grasses become dormant in Kansas and growing summer annuals such as teff can fill the yield gap from cool-season grasses. A study was conducted to evaluate the effects of application rates and types of nitrogen fertilizer on forage dry matter yield and nutritive value of teff. On average over the locations, 84 kg nitrogen per hectare appeared to be optimum to grow teff in Kansas. Two types of nitrogen fertilizer (i.e., urea and ESN) did not affect forage yield and nutritive value of teff.
