Abstract
Description
A-916; Rye (Secale cereale) is a cool season cereal grass.
Both spring and winter types are grown in North Dakota,
with the winter type planted on more acres. Winter rye is the most winterhardy of cereal grains and
is grown at the most northern latitudes. Winter rye, after germination, must be vernalized by a period of cool, near freezing temperatures in order to initiate head development.
