1. 분얼수는 3차 예취기에서가장 많았으며, 이시기까지 계속 증가를 하였지만 가을 예취기에서 급격히 감소했다. 엽면적 지수는 3차 예취기에서 가장 높았으며, 보통 예취직후 서서히 증가를 하다가 15~20일부터 빠르게 증가하였다. 2. 各 예취기 건물수량은 1次와 3次 ~예취가 다른 時期에 比하여 높게 나타났으며, 예취기별 건물중 變化는 葉面積 指數의 變化와 비슷한 樣相을 보이고 있었다. 3. LER은 예취후 20-30일l, SLW는 25-30日, CGR은 25~25日 사이에 最大速度에 도달했다. CGR은 1次 빛 3次 예취기에서 비교적 높았다. NAR은 約 20일 정도에 최대에 도달했는데, 棄乾物 重에는 NAR보다 다른 生長指標들이 더욱 크게 作用함을 알 수 있었다. 4. 乾物收量과 가장 높은 相關은 LAI와 CGR 으로서 각각 0.905와 0.962를 보여 고도의 正의 相關을 나타내였고 LER과 LAI 間에도 正의 相關인정되었다. 收量의 추정에 최적식은 LAI와 CGR을 변수로 사용하여 얻어 졌다. 5. LAI와 CGR 및 收量과의 관계로서 결정한 예취의 適期는 各 예취기별로 다르게 나타났으나 32일에서 36일 사이에 존재하였다.
The response of forage yield was studied with various growth indices to develop yield model and to determine optimum cutting time in three cultivars of orchardgrass 1. Number of tiller per plant was the highest at 3rd cutting stage. But, it was decreased rapidly at 4th cutting stage. Leaf Area Index (LAI) was the highest at 3rd cutting stage. LA1 was increased slowly during 15 days to 20 days after cutting and thereafter increased rapidly. 2. In dry matter yield over cutting stages, 1st cutting and 3rd cutting stages were higher yield than others. Change of dry matter yield was similar to that of LA1 in all cutting stages. 3. Leaf Elongation Rate (LER) and Specific Leaf Weight (SLW) were reached to maximum at 20 to 25 days and 25 to 30 days after cutting, respectively, 4. Dry matter yield was highly correlated with LA1 (r=0.905)and with CGR (r=0.962) over three cultivars. Also, LA1 was significantly with LER. The best-fit yield model was obtained in multiple regression equation which included both dependent variables of LA1 and CGR. 5. Optimum cutting times which were determined by the relationships between D.M. yield and LAI, and between D.M. yield and CGR, were ranged from 32 days t o 36 days depend on each cutting stages.
