Psathyrostachys juncea
Bozoisky Wildrye is a winter hardy, drought and salt tolerant bunch grass that is widely adapted to the semi-arid rangelands of the US West. It is a long-lived perennial known for its productivity of high quality early season forage. Wildrye characteristically has relatively poor seedling vigor and is more difficult to establish on range sites than many other grasses. It is one of the most versatile forage grasses available for dryland pastures, as it over time develops into stands with fairly wide spaced plants. It is very competitive with weeds once established. Wildrye is highly palatable to wildlife, especially deer, elk and antelope. It is generally utilized in late Summer through Winter.
