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.

Effects of red clover isoflavones on tall fescue seed fermentation and microbial populations in vitro. [PDF]
Negative impacts of endophyte-infected Lolium arundinaceum (Darbyshire) (tall fescue) are responsible for over $2 billion in losses to livestock producers annually.

Abstract Salicylic acid (SA) is an elicitor of abiotic stress tolerance in plants, but a comparative analysis of its effects across cereals remains under‐explored. This review article assesses the literature on the biological functioning of exogenous SA application (foliar‐ or root‐applied) in water‐stressed cereals.

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 ...

Abstract Conventional agriculture in the US Midwest has accelerated crop productivity but also contributed to undesirable environmental issues. Perennial groundcovers (PGCs), such as cool‐season grasses intercropped in the maize (Zea mays L.) interrow, have the potential to reduce soil erosion rates and mitigate nutrient losses.

Timothy and timothy mixtures as a pasture crop [PDF]
Despite the relatively low tolerance against grazing and peaked DM production, timothy can be used effiently for grazing, especially in mixtures with meadow fescue. The growth processes lead to specific management options, e.g.

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.

Effects of spring nitrogen and sulfur fertilization on triticale yield and forage quality
Abstract Triticale (x Triticosecale) silage has become a popular choice for many dairy producers to increase forage supply. Using fertilization to increase protein concentrations in triticale silage may be an economic strategy for dairies to increase ration protein concentrations and offset the expense of purchased protein sources.
