Effect of stubble height and irrigation management on the growth, botanical composition and persistence of perennial ryegrass, tall fescue and chicory swards in cool-temperate Tasmania

open access: yes, 2019
The profitability of dairying in south-eastern Australia can be improved by increasing pasture production during summer–autumn, when growth rates for the existing perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) feedbase are low.

Evaluating Kentucky bluegrass and perennial ryegrass seeding ratios for sod grown on plastic production

open access: yesCrop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Sod grown on plastic (SOP) is a sod established on a thin layer of growing medium atop a plastic sheet. It can be harvested with minimal damage to the roots, thereby reducing transplant shock. Kentucky bluegrass (KBG; Poa pratensis L.) is a commonly used cool‐season turfgrass species in sod production and sports fields. However, KBG is slow to

Evaluation of Resistance to Fescue Toxicosis in Purebred Angus Cattle Utilizing Animal Performance and Cytokine Response

open access: yesToxins, 2020
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.

Agronomic responses and botanical composition of warm‐season annual forages managed under contrasting harvest strategies

open access: yesCrop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Warm‐season annual (WSA) forages enhance the summer forage supply in subtropical livestock systems. The objective of this study was to determine forage mass (FM), nutritive value, nitrogen (N) yield, and botanical composition in 12 forage mixtures managed under two harvest strategies (simulated grazing vs. baleage). A randomized complete block

An evaluation of tall fescue (Lolium arundinaceum) as an alternative to perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) for use on dairy farms in the Waikato

open access: yes, 2011
Grazed pasture provides the bulk of feed on New Zealand dairy farms. As such, the amount, and the nutritive value, of the pasture grown directly influences farm production and profitability.

Potential Benefit of Predator Exclusion Fence for the Threatened Ground Wētā Hemiandrus fabella

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2026.
Although conservation practitioners in Aotearoa New Zealand are world‐leaders in predator exclusion fencing for threatened species conservation, the degree to which fences protect invertebrates has not been extensively studied, especially in non‐forested environments.

Overexpression of a Ran GTPase homologous gene, FaRan from tall fescue, in transgenic Arabidopsis

open access: yes, 2011
We isolated and characterized a novel Ran GTPase homologous gene, FaRan from tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.). Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis indicated that FaRan is broadly expressed in old mature leaves ...
