Producers of orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) hay in the Mid-Atlantic US have experienced a reduction in regrowth vigor and a decline in the persistence of their swards. The common management practice for the region is to harvest the first growth of hay by cutting at 2.5–7.5 cm height in May or...
