Effects of Harvest Method and Moisture Content on Seed Quality of Smooth Bromegrass1

E. V. Horning and C. L. Canode2

Synopsis: Smooth bromegrass seed containing from 65 to 12.570 moisture was harvested by 2 methods. Seed harvested by the simulated-windrow method gave maximum seed weight, weight per shoot, and vigor score at 45.270 moisture; maximum seedling emergence at 52.1% moisture; and maximum laboratory germination at 60.870 moisture. Seed harvested by the simulated-combine method gave maximum seed weight at 34.1% moisture, but maximum laboratory germination, seedling emergence, weight per shoot, and vigor score at 24.170 seed moisture content.
