Abstract
Altai wild ryegrass, Elymus angustus Trin., and Russian wild ryegrass, Elymus junceus Fisch., were seeded in a sandy soil in alternate rows with alfalfa, Medicago media L., an alfalfa-slender wheatgrass, Agropyron trachycaulum Link, mixture, and with slender wheatgrass seeded in rows on either side of each row of alfalfa and 15 cm from it. The rows of Altai or Russian wild ryegrass and alfalfa were 45 cm apart. Cattle grazed the Altai or Russian wild ryegrass-alfalfa stands intensively, but refused to eat slender wheatgrass or alfalfa grown in association with it.
