The effect of stage of growth on the chemistry of the grasses. Kohler G. J. Biol. Chem. 1944. 152:215-223
Younger grass tends to be richer in protein, soluble carbohydrates,
carotene, vitamin C, thiamine and riboflavin. Using oats, Kohler found
that several of the vitamins, protein, crude fat and chlorophyll
reached peak concentrations at or near the jointing stage, hence the
nutritive value of grass is likely to be optimal at this point.
