Abstract:In order to selecte the suitable grass species in winter, the yield and quality of the forage of Hemarthia compressa ‘Guangyi’ pasture resown with Secale cereale ‘Dongmu70’, Triticale ‘Zhongsi 828’, and Lolium multiflorum ‘Changjiang No.2’, respectively, were evaluated in autumn. The results shown that forage yield and quality of ‘Guangyi’ increased significantly by resown with ‘Zhongsi 828’ and ‘Changjiang No.2’, in which the yield of dry matter increased by 11.3% and 12.3%, crude proteins by 10.4% and 15.6%, respectively. No significant difference was found resown with ‘Dongmu70’. It suggested that ‘Changjiang No.2’ was the optimal overseeding grass for H. compress in winter.
