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 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

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

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