Abstract

'Beefmaker' intermediate wheatgrass [Elytrigia intermedia (Host) Nevski subsp. intermedia = Thinopyrum intermedium subsp. intermedium (Host) Barkw. & D.R. Dewey] (Reg. no. CV-26, PI 634505) is a broadly adapted cultivar that produces forage with high in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) and high protein concentration in the tall, mid-grass, and short-grass ecoregions of the central Great Plains, USA. It was released in January 2003 by the USDA-ARS and the Agricultural Research Division, Institute of Agricultural and Natural Resources, University of Nebraska. Beefmaker was tested as NE TI1 C1.
