Ergovaline levels in cultivars of Festuca arundinacea

Relative N Fertilizer Efficiency and Mineralization of Organic Amendments as Assessed by Tall Fescue (Festuca arundinacea L

A capability to determine the availability of nitrogen in organic amendments is necessary to ensure that such materials will provide sufficient nitrogen to the growing crop and cause minimal environmental degradation. Greenhouse bioassays were used to evaluate N availability of organic by-products, including several employed in the field study of this research. Tall fescue was grown in greenhou...

Variation and genetic structure of Tunisian Festuca arundinacea populations based on inter-simple sequence repeat pattern.

Tunisian tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) is an important grass for forages or soil conservation, particularly in marginal sites. Inter-simple sequence repeats were used to estimate genetic diversity within and among 8 natural populations and 1 cultivar from Northern Tunisia. A total of 181 polymorphic inter-simple sequence repeat markers were generated using 7 primers. Shannon's index...

Control of Johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense) in tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) stands

Johnsongrass is a nonnative invasive species introduced as a forage crop from the Mediterranean region (Miller and Miller 1999). This perennial species has become naturalized and is found in 47 of the 50 United States (Alaska, Minnesota, and Maine being the exceptions) (USDA 2004). Johnsongrass has become problematic along roadsides in Kentucky due to its aggressive and prolific nature and rapi...

Lead Accumulation by Tall Fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) Grown on a Lead-Contaminated Soil

Phytoextraction is gaining acceptance as a cost-effective and environmentally friendly phytoremediation strategy for reducing toxic metal levels from contaminated soils. Cognizant of the potential of this phytoremediation technique as an alternative to expensive engineering-based remediation technologies, experiments were conducted to evaluate the suitability of some plants as phytoextraction s...
