Bluestem Seed Midge Influence on Sexual Reproduction of Big Bluestem: A Review
A Cecidomyiid midge (Contarinia wattsi Gagne') has been identified as a significant parasite of big bluestem [Andropogon gerard;; Vitman var. gerard;;] by adversely affecting the production of viable seeds. The midge was first identified from specimens collected from big bluestem racemes in 1983 in eastern Nebraska. Subsequent collections and studies have shown that it is widespread in the Grea...
متن کاملMycorrhizal influences on big bluestem rhizome regrowth and clipping tolerance
Mycorrbizal symbiosis is critical to growth of many warmseason prairie grass seedlings, but its effect on regrowth of rbizomes has not been determined. As forage species, the effect of grazing on the symbiosis is also important. when the impact of mycorrbizae on regrowth of Andropogon germ&i Vit. rhizomes was assessed, A. germ& rhizomes collected from the field and grown with mycorrbizal inocul...
متن کاملSpatial and temporal dynamics of Puccinia andropogonis on Comandra umbellata and Andropogon gerardii in a native prairie
The rust Puccinia andropogonis (Schwein.) was studied on its aecial and telial plant hosts, comandra (Comandra umbellata L. Nutt.) and big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii Vitman), respectively, in a native prairie to investigate the influence of aecial host proximity on disease severity of the telial host in a natural system. Both hosts were mapped to measure distances from comandra clones to sel...
متن کاملA comparison of native tallgrass prairie and plains bluestem forage systems for cow-calf production in the southern great plains.
The objective of this study was to compare an introduced warm-season perennial grass (plains bluestem, Bothriochloa ischaemum) to native tallgrass prairie for cow-calf production. Three systems were used, two based on tallgrass prairie with two different forms of protein supplementation and one based on plains bluestem as the primary forage. The systems were as follows: 1) native tallgrass prai...
متن کاملTemperature response of C4 species big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii) is modified by growing carbon dioxide concentration
Climate change factors interact to modify plant growth and development. The objective of this study was to evaluate the response to temperature of big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii Vitman) development, growth, reproduction and biomass partitioning under low and high carbon dioxide concentrations ([CO2]) grown in controlled environmental conditions. Ten sunlit soil–plant–atmosphere-research (SPA...
