Cover Story: Kengyilia melanthera, is a perennial grass of the Triticeae tribe. A recommended way for determining the best harvest time is to evaluate the seed yield of grasses. However, maximum yield varies greatly depending on the species. According to the current study, during two trial years, seed yield (SY) (kg·hm−2) of K. melanthera seeds increased gradually with the seed maturation in D1–D6 (15 to 30 days after peak anthesis), and reaching the peak values of over 1700 kg·hm−2, 30 days after peak anthesis. Although seeds following harvest, such as at D6, showed a minor gain in seed quality and vigor while continuing to prolong harvest time (33 days after peak anthesis (D7) to 33 days after peak anthesis (D8)), the loss of falling grain is significant; therefore, early harvest should be preferred. View this paper
