应用程序
Western Wheatgrass is commonly used in conservation applications and land reclamation due its high stress tolerance and sod-forming ability. It is one of the most common components of native grass mixes.
Western Wheatgrass is moderately palatable to many classes of livestock. Cattle tend to prefer it more so than sheep. Nitrogen fertilization will increase forage yield and palatability.

Western Wheatgrass can be used in full sun and partial shaded areas of the landscape. It is relatively maintenance free since its sod-forming characteristic crowds out most weeds once establish.
