Description

Timothy (Phleum pratense) is the major perennial forage seeded on strongly acidic soils in southcentral Alaska. It is an important forage grass on the Kenai Peninsula and in the Susitna Valley. Bromegrass (Bromus inermis) is more commonly used on the moderately acidic soils of the Matanuska valley. Timothy is also used to some extent in the Tanana Valley of interior Alaska. Recently it has assumed an increasingly important role in forage programs of dairy farms and hay growers in the Pt. MacKenzie Agricultural Project northwest of Anchorage.
