Drying and storage primed grass seeds
Cbeatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.) has become the dominant species over large areas of rangeland in the Great Basin region of the western United States. Rapid germination at low temperature may contribute to the competitive success of cheatgrass in areas formerly dominated by native sagebrush and bunchgrass species. The objectives of this study were to determine whether seed priming could be used ...
متن کاملEffects of Moisture and Temperature on Germination of Idaho Fescue
Germination response to varying temperatures and water stress levels during a 30-day incubation period was observed in 4 eastern Oregon collections of Festuca iduhoensis Elmer. Seeds were selected from the following habitat types: Artemisia trident&a ssp. wyomingensis/Festuca iduhoensis (ARTRV/FEID), Pinus ponderosa Dougl./Festucu idahoensis (PIPO/FEID). One stand of each habitat type was sampl...
متن کاملNitrogen effects on seed germination and seedling growth
Recent evidence associates the persistence of invasive plant species with disturbance and fluctuations in distinct forms of mineral N in soils. We conducted soil and hydroponic experiments to investigate the influence of N form and availability on germination and seedling development of 2 invasive annual grasses, cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) and medusahead (Taeniatherum caput-medusae) and 6 per...
متن کاملGenetic Variability for Mineral Element Concentration of Crested Wheatgrass Forage
Grass tetany is a complex metabolic disorder that causes substantial livestock production losses and deaths in temperate r gions of the world. It is caused by low levels of Mg or an imbalance of K, Ca, and Mg in forage consumed by animals. Development of grasses with improved mineral balance would be an economical means of minimizing losses from this malady. This study was conducted to determin...
متن کاملForage polyphenol oxidase and ruminant livestock nutrition
Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) is predominately associated with the detrimental effect of browning fruit and vegetables, however, interest within PPO containing forage crops (crops to be fed to animals) has grown since the browning reaction was associated with reduced nitrogen (N) losses in silo and the rumen. The reduction in protein breakdown in silo of red clover (high PPO forage) increased the qu...
