Why are tallness and profuse branching desirable traits for fodder crops?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
Because the tallness enables the fodder crops to be easy to cut for hay or silage, and the profuse branching, especially with alfalfa, makes it easy for machines like the baler to pick up the swath without much waste. In some fodder crops, like in grass, profuse branching happens on a more microscopic level at ground level, making these grasses, called bunch grasses, desirable for grazing instead of for hay.
