Which of the following is categorized as a cool-season annual forage?

Foxtail millet
Sudangrass
Triticale
Teff

The correct answer is: Triticale

Triticale is categorized as a cool-season annual forage because it thrives in cooler temperatures, typically growing best in the spring and fall. This cereal grain is a hybrid of wheat and rye and is known for its high yield and strong forage quality when grown during its prime growing seasons. Cool-season annual forages are characterized by their growth patterns, favoring cooler weather and showing peak productivity in the early spring or late fall, which aligns with triticale's growth habits. In contrast, foxtail millet, sudangrass, and teff are considered warm-season forages. These species flourish in warmer temperatures and are primarily planted for summer grazing. Understanding the differences in growing seasons among these forages is essential for proper management and selection based on climatic conditions and grazing needs.
