comparison of direct and indirect selection response for forage yield and its components in tall fescue under normal and water stress environments
breeding based on selection indices is an effective method for improving complex traits such as yield. to assess the efficiency of different selection methods, 50 genotypes of tall fescue (festuca arundinace) were evaluated under two moisture conditions including full irrigation (normal environment) and deficit irrigation (stress environment). the experiment was conducted according to a randomi...
متن کاملLamb production and forage quality under a forage system consisting of AU Triumph tall fescue and Tifton 44 bermudagrass.
The lamb production potential and forage quality of a forage system consisting of AU Triumph fescue and Tifton 44 bermudagrass was studied over a period of two consecutive years. Each spring, 60 yearling Suffolk ewes and 40 wethers were divided into two groups and allowed to graze two replicated 1ha AU Triumph paddocks continuously. At the end of the spring grazing season, both groups were tran...
متن کاملForages and pastures symposium: managing the tall fescue-fungal endophyte symbiosis for optimum forage-animal production.
Alkaloids produced by the fungal endophyte (Neotyphodium coenophialum) that infects tall fescue [Lolium arundinaceum (Schreb.) Darbysh.] are a paradox to cattle production. Although certain alkaloids impart tall fescue with tolerances to environmental stresses, such as moisture, heat, and herbivory, ergot alkaloids produced by the endophyte can induce fescue toxicosis, a malady that adversely a...
متن کاملIrradiance Response of Tall Fescue Genotypes with Contrasting Levels of Photosynthesis and Yield
The purpose of this study was to determine if genotype by irradiance interactions or genetic variation in diurnal trends of CO, exchange rate (CER) influenced the CERyield relationship in tall fescue (Festuca mundinucea Schreb.). Genotypes were selected in the field for high CER-high yield, high CER-low yield, low CER-high yield, and low CER-low yield. Responses of CER to photosynthetic photon ...

et al., 1981) and timothy (Phleum pratense L.; Braverman, 1966; Nielson and Dickson, 1958). In addition, Genetic resistance to stem rust (caused by Puccinia graminis several cultivars of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne Pers.:Pers. subsp. graminicola Z. Urban) could reduce the need for fungicides to control the disease in tall fescue [Lolium arundinaceum L.) with reduced susceptibility to ste...
