Drew Lyon, Andrew Hulting and, Don Morishita (April, 2014)

Summary

Feral rye (Secale cereale L.), also known as volunteer or cereal rye, is a troublesome weed in winter wheat production in the low and intermediate rainfall zones of eastern Washington and Oregon and southern Idaho. Rye has been grown in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) for seed and cover, as well as for forage in hay production systems, pastures, and range. It has also been used in wildlife and soil conservation seed mixtures.
