Ergot Alkaloids Produced by Endophytic Fungi of the Genus Epichloë
The development of fungal endophytes of the genus Epichloë in grasses results in the production of different groups of alkaloids, whose mechanism and biological spectrum of toxicity can differ considerably.

ABSTRACT Pathogen infection drives plant community structure and constrains global agricultural productivity. Silicon (Si) improves resistance to abiotic and herbivory stress, particularly in grasses, but relatively little attention has addressed Si‐mediated resistance to pathogens, nor has it tested how this varies according to the type of plant and ...

Exposure to Ergot Alkaloids During Gestation Reduces Fetal Growth in Sheep
Tall fescue [Lolium arundinaceum (Schreb.) Darbysh; Schedonorus phoenix (Scop.) Holub] is the primary cool season perennial grass in the eastern U.S. Most tall fescue contains an endophyte (Neotyphodium coenophialum), which produces ergot alkaloids that ...

Yield and seed quality of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) produced on degraded soil during the reclamation proces [PDF]
This paper presents the results of a two-year research of influence of growing doses of nitrogen on yield and quality of seed of tall fescue produced on the deposol (degraded soil) of external stockpile for overburden from the open mine Raškovac ...

Plant and Animal Performance in Tall Fescue and Tall Fescue/Legume Pastures
Tall fescue is the one of most common grasses in irrigated pastures throughout the Intermountain West. Two limitations of tall fescue are a decrease in productivity during hot summer months and the need for supplemental nitrogen (N). The objective of this research was to compare tall fescue-alfalfa (TF+ALF), tall fescue-birdsfoot trefoil (TF+BFT), tall

Abstract Alley cropping, combining tree rows with wide alleys for agricultural crops, has demonstrated variable potential to store additional carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) in soil, compared to conventional cropping. Studies quantifying C and N in particulate organic matter (POM) and mineral‐associated organic matter (MAOM) are scarce, despite their ...

Permanent winter hay‐feeding stations concentrate soil nutrients in Kentucky pastures
Abstract Distribution of soil nutrients as a function of centralized winter hay‐feeding stations can lead to inefficient nutrient utilization and environmental quality concerns, but distributions have not been adequately characterized across a diversity of soils.

Fescue toxicosis is a multifaceted syndrome common in cattle grazing endophyte-infected tall fescue; however, varying symptomatic responses potentially imply genetic tolerance to the syndrome.

Abstract Repeated applications of natural organic based fertilizers can benefit soil health and potentially suppress some turfgrass diseases. One of the major summer diseases affecting many lawns is brown patch (caused by various Rhizoctonia and Rhizoctonia‐like species).
