Eliminating burning in the production of Kentucky bluegrass seed to alleviate public health concerns will greatly impact production of this crop, 90 percent of which is produced in Idaho, Washington and Oregon. This 12-page bulletin identifies specific agronomic benefits of burning that need to be implemented for a reduced-burn or no-burn production system to be viable. And it includes producer tips for stand establishment, pest management (weeds, diseases, insects, rodents) and soil fertility.
