Wiesenlieschgras

Das Wiesen-Lieschgras ist ein ausdauerndes, lockere Horste bildendes Gras. Der Halm besitzt drei bis fünf Knoten und schmeckt süßlich.

Es ist gegen nasskalte, schwere Böden unempfindlich und wird zur Bebauung von entwässerten Mooren genutzt, gegen Dürre und Schatten jedoch empfindlich.

Das Wiesen-Lieschgras ein wichtiges Obergras im Feldfutterbau. Es liefert hochwertiges, sehr winterhartes Futtergras, das jedoch früh verholzt. So lange es jung ist, wird es von den Tieren (Rinder, Schafe, Ziegen, Pferde, Katzen, Vögel ...) gerne gefressen. Neben Roggen und Englischem Raygras sind auch die Pollen des Wiesen-Lieschgrases hauptsächlich für den Heuschnupfen verantwortlich.

Fodder: Pasture Management: Hay Management: Standard Staple Crop: Balanced carb An easily grown plant, it succeeds in a sunny position in any ordinary soil. The plant is not drought tolerant. Timothy grass is reported to tolerate an annual precipitation in the range of 35 to 176cm, an annual temperature range of 4.4 to 18.6°C, and a pH of 4.5 to 7.8. The plant is best adapted to a cool, humid, temperate climate, growing best on rather heavy, deep and moist or even wet soils. Yields are lower on light dry soils and sands. The optimum temperature for growth is 18.3° - 21.6°C varying with day/night temperatures of 15°/10°C and 21°/15°C. Timothy grass is a very variable species that is commonly grown as a hay grass. Several named forms have been develped. A short-lived perennial it is a common cause of hayfever.
