Russians Grow Double-Duty Grain Fodder For Humans And Cattle
Russian scientists, led by Nikolai Tsitsin and Peter Lapin, are testing a grain fodder plant that can feed cattle as grass in June and later yield wheat for people. The perennial hybrid, created from wheat and wild grasses, offers harvest flexibility but needs improved winter hardiness. Experiments run at Moscow botanical gardens show grass first then grain, or grain first with later grass, depending on conditions. Researchers use colchicine to stabilize the second generation while refining the crop for practical use.
