AB We grow blue wild-rye (Elymus glaucus Buckley [Poaceae]) for seed production on former bareroot conifer nursery beds. When fall sown at 11 to 17 kg/ha (10 to 15 lb/ac), first and subsequent seed yields are 560 kg/ha (500 lb/ac), although this varies by seed source. After seed harvest, stems can be baled and marketed for use in erosion control or as mulch. Container crops of Elymus glaucus for planting on restoration sites can be easily grown in about 3 mo. Production protocols are provided.
