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.

Timothy and timothy mixtures as a pasture crop [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
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.

Plant growth regulator and spring nitrogen effects on grass seed crops in western Canada

open access: yesAgronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are used in herbage seed crops to mitigate lodging risk and protect seed yield, though their effects on aging perennial grass stands remain understudied. This study evaluated the effect of PGRs on the agronomic characteristics of herbage seed crops of creeping red fescue (Festuca rubra L.), meadow brome (Bromus ...

EXPERIENCES WITH S170 TALL FESCUE

open access: yesProceedings of the New Zealand Grassland Association, 1967
MANY hundreds of years ago, an old gentleman startled the inhabitants of the ancient city of Bagdad by offering to exchange new lamps for old ones. Today, a rather similar thing is happening on some New Zealand farms, where some farmers are replacing tall fescue with tall fescue.

INVESTMENT ANALYSIS OF REPLACING ENDOPHYTE-INFECTED WITH ENDOPHYTE-FREE TALL FESCUE PASTURES [PDF]

open access: yes
Cattle consuming tall fescue pastures infected with the endophyte Neotyphodium coenophialum often suffer physiological disorders that reduce animal performance.

Legume intercropping in organic timothy seed crops

open access: yesAgronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Timothy (Phleum pratense L.) is a perennial grass widely grown for livestock feed in temperate regions of the world. It is one of the primary forage grasses grown for seed in Scandinavia due to good cold tolerance and high‐quality feed characteristics.

Late‐summer nitrogen fertilization rate effects on herbage mass, nutritive value, and fertilizer recovery efficiency of stockpiled bermudagrass

open access: yesCrop Science, Volume 66, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Stockpiled bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.) can potentially provide nutritious forage and extend the grazing season in the upper southeastern US Coastal Plain. This multi‐location 1‐year study evaluated the effects of four N fertilizer rates (from 0 to 135 kg ha−1) and four harvest dates (from October to January) on leaf‐to‐stem ...

Insights into the Drought and Heat Avoidance Mechanism in Summer-Dormant Mediterranean Tall Fescue

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Summer dormancy is an evolutionary response that some perennial cool-season grasses adopted as an avoidance strategy to escape summer drought and heat. It is correlated with superior survival after severe summer droughts in many perennial grass species ...

Dietary Overlap of Sympatric Polyphagous Alpine Grasshoppers Includes Invasive Plant Species

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
The diets of three sympatric grasshopper species were compared using mandible morphological analysis, microhistological examination, and DNA metabarcoding of gut contents. Although mandible morphology differed across species and sexes, dietary divergence was not evident.
