摘 要:Background:Tall wheatgrass is a perennial salt-tolerant bunchgrass,which is a promising candidate for establishing a“Coastal Grass Beltin China,particularly in the coastal saline–alkaline soils surrounding the Bohai ***:Seven harvesting treatments were performed to explore the optimal harvesting time and frequency for tall wheatgrass in coastal *** dry matter yield(DMY)and forage nutritional values were investigated for each *** correlation between harvesting time and frequency thereof among the investigated traits was also ***:The results showed that the two-cut on June 18 and October 29 produced the highest *** two-cut on May 26 and October 29 produced a relatively high crude protein(CP)*** DMY,contents of neutral detergent fiber(NDF),acid detergent fiber(ADF),and crude cellulose(CC)as well as CP yield were positively correlated to plant height,while the CP content and the relative feed value(RFV)were negatively correlated to plant *** accumulating growing degree days,accumulated precipitation,and sunshine duration were positively correlated with plant height,DMY,contents of NDF,ADF,and CC as well as CP yield,but negatively correlated with CP content and RFV for the first ***:The two-cut treatment at the end of May and October may be suitable for tall wheatgrass in the“Coastal Grass Belttargeted area.
