Varietal Differences Of Competitive Ability During Establishment Stage In Dactylis Glomerta And Lolium Perenne, S Sugiyama
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Herbage grasses are usually grown in association with other herbage species in pastures. But populations which are very productive under the pure swards do not necessarily show high productivity under the mixed swards (Eagles, 1983). Thus, competitive ability becomes important in determining the productivity of component species in mixed swards. This paper examines the varietal differences of performance during establishment stage when grown in association with other grass species, and morphological characteristics affecting it for two grass species, Dactylis glomerata and Lolium perenne.
Forage And Seed Yield Of 9 Chloris Gayana (Rhodes Grass) Varieties At 3 Sites In Zimbabewe, P A. York, E Nyamandzawo, E Bemont
Forage And Seed Yield Of 9 Chloris Gayana (Rhodes Grass) Varieties At 3 Sites In Zimbabewe, P A. York, E Nyamandzawo, E Bemont
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Katambora Rhodes grass (diploid) is grown in rotation with tobacco in Zimbabwe to control Meloidogyne javanica (rootknot nematode). A 4 year ley is recommended (Martin, 1967) as the nematode can survive in bare fallow for up to 4 years. Katambora produces less herbage than Zimbabwe Giant, and is less palatable than it and other tetraploids. Potential area of use is 200 to 250 thousand ha, and annual replacement 60,000 ha. A breeding project was initiated in 1986 to combine the agronomic value of tetraploid types with the nematode resistance of Katambora. In addition to forage yield and nematode resistance seed …
Bean Yellow Mosaic Virus Resistance In Arrowleaf Clover, G R. Smith, I J. Pemberton
Bean Yellow Mosaic Virus Resistance In Arrowleaf Clover, G R. Smith, I J. Pemberton
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Arrowleaf clover (Trifolium vesiculosum Savi) is a winter annual forage legume often overseeded on warm-season perennial grass pastures in the southern region of the United States. Bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV) can reduce forage production, seed production and cause plant death of arrowleaf clover (Gibson et al., 1979; Pratt et al., 1982). Resistance to BYMV has been identified in red clover (Trifolium pratense) and the inheritance reported in detail (Taylor et al., 1986). A research program was initiated in 1985 to quantify the effects of BYMV on arrowleaf and to develop BYMV resistant arrowleaf germplasm through recurrent …
Breeding For Resistance To Root Rot In Red Clover, B Andersson, U Kristiansson
Breeding For Resistance To Root Rot In Red Clover, B Andersson, U Kristiansson
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) is one of the most important species for forage production in Sweden. The use of red clover is however restricted by poor persistence among other things caused by attacks of fungal diseases like clover crown rot and root rot. Investigations have shown (Rufeldt, 1986) that root rot is distributed in almost every field where red clover is grown and is one of the main reasons for the poor persistence. In the same investigations Fusarium roseum, Phoma medicaginis and Cylindrocarpon sp. are pointed out as the most important fungi in the root rot complex. One …
An Induced Non-Nitrogen-Fixing Mutant In Stylosanthes Guianensis, J W. Miles, R Sylvester-Bradley
An Induced Non-Nitrogen-Fixing Mutant In Stylosanthes Guianensis, J W. Miles, R Sylvester-Bradley
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
A reliable seedling genetic marker would • improve the efficiency of a recurrent selection scheme used in the tropical forage legume Stylosanthes guianensis (Miles, 1985; Cameron and Irwin, 1986). However, seedling markers are rare in S. guianensis. Only presence vs. absence of stem pubescence is reported (Cameron and Irwin, 1986), and this is an unreliable marker in many crosses (Miles, unpublished data). We initiated a project to induce a seedling mutant with gamma radiation. Non-nodulating mutants have been found in other legume species (e.g. Davis et al., 1985) so our project was deliberately designed to identify these if they occurred. …
The Role Of Root System In Tall Fescue (Festuca Arundinacea Schreb.) Productivity, N Gaborcik
The Role Of Root System In Tall Fescue (Festuca Arundinacea Schreb.) Productivity, N Gaborcik
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Dry matter production of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) is usually analysed from the following aspects: 1. CO2 metabolism., 2. leaf area index., 3. morphological traits. The relationship between photosynthesis and DM production of this species is relatively complex and not yet clearly elucidated (Wilhelm and Nelson, 1978). On the other hand a close relationship between the leaf area index and DM production of this species was confirmed (Poskuta et al., 1986; Gaborcik, 1986 a). There is relatively less information about the relationship between root system characteristics and shoot DM production (Elkins et al., 1979). The aim of this …
Genetic Variances In Crested Wheatgrass - Alfalfa Mixtures, K H. Asay, D A. Johnson
Genetic Variances In Crested Wheatgrass - Alfalfa Mixtures, K H. Asay, D A. Johnson
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Since it was first successfully introduced into North America from Eurasia in 1906 (Dillman 1946), crested wheatgrass [Agropyron cristatum (L.) Gaertner, A. desertorum (Fish. ex Link) Schultes, and A.fragile (Roth) Candargy] has had more impact on revegetation of western rangelands in North America than any other grass. Much of the early crested wheatgrass seedings were made as monocultures ; however, the multiple demands now made on rangelands dictate that other grass, shrub, and forb species be included in the seeding mix. The advantages of grass-legume mixtures in terms of improved forage quality and productivity are well documented (Trenbath, 1974). …
Breeding Acid-Soil Tolerant Lines Of The Tropical Grass Panicum Maximum Jacq., E M. Hutton
Breeding Acid-Soil Tolerant Lines Of The Tropical Grass Panicum Maximum Jacq., E M. Hutton
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Coloniao (P. maximum) originally from Africa is widely grown in fertile tropical soils, especially of Brazil, because of high yield and feeding value. Its growth and persistence are poor in the extensive acid oxisols and ultisols (pH 4.5-5.0) of South America (68 % in Brazil) where pasture improvement is increasing. The object of the work was to create sufficient variability in the usually apomictic P. maximum by crossing it with some of the few available obligate sexual types of the species (Hanna et al., 1973). This was to give opportunity for selection of acidsoil tolerant lines.
Improvement In Seasonal Production Of Orchardgrass (Dactlyis Glomerata L.) By Selection For Flowering Habit In Autumn Environment, S Sato, F Ikegaya, S Kawabata
Improvement In Seasonal Production Of Orchardgrass (Dactlyis Glomerata L.) By Selection For Flowering Habit In Autumn Environment, S Sato, F Ikegaya, S Kawabata
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Reproductive development of temperate grass species generally proceeds by exposure to low temperature and short daylength and then to moderate temperature and long daylength. However, differentiation and development of inflorescences can be observed even under short day conditions in spring habit types of temperate grasses and grain crops such as ryegrass, wheat, barley and oats. Similar variations called ever-flowering habit were found in orchardgrass. The purpose of this study was to select the materials for everflowering habit, to observe their productive behavior under some temperature and photoperiod conditions and to improve seasonal production by using selected materials in orchardgrass.
Breeding White Clover For Resistance To Root Know Nematode, J Van Den Bosch, C F. Mercer
Breeding White Clover For Resistance To Root Know Nematode, J Van Den Bosch, C F. Mercer
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
White clover (Trifolium repens L.) is the most important legume species used in New Zealand pastoral agriculture (Williams, 1987). However, its growth and fixation of nitrogen can be severely reduced by the root knot nematode, Meloidogyne hapla Chitwood (Widdowson et al., 1973; Yeates et al., 1973; Yeates et al., 1977). This nematode is commonly found throughout New Zealand (Mercer and Woodfield, 1986; Skipp and Christensen, 1983) Chemical control is not economic, or environmentally desirable. The breeding of resistant cul ti vars may be an effective way to reduce the effects of this pest. Resistance or tolerance in white clover …
Performance Of Trifolium Repens Genotypes Under Grazing In New Zealand Hill Pasture, J.F L. Charlton, D R. Woodfield, J R. Caradus
Performance Of Trifolium Repens Genotypes Under Grazing In New Zealand Hill Pasture, J.F L. Charlton, D R. Woodfield, J R. Caradus
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
A large area of New Zealand's hill country has been developed into pasture during the past 60 years by removal of scrub vegetation, aerial application of superphosphate fertiliser and aerial oversowing of pasture seeds in mixture. The key legume used was white clover (Trifolium repens L.), either as the cultivar Grasslands Huia, or as uncertified seed. Grasslands Tahora white clover was released in 1984, selected from material collected from moist hill pastures (Williams et al., 1983). Farmers sowing white clover into such pastures now have a choice of using Tahora (specifically bred for moist hill pasture, close-grazed by sheep), …
Breeding For Increased Stolon Branching And Node Density In White Clover, J R. Caradus, A C. Mackay
Breeding For Increased Stolon Branching And Node Density In White Clover, J R. Caradus, A C. Mackay
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
The stoloniferous habit of white clover (Trifolium repens) is an important factor contributing to its agronomic superiority over other herbage legumes in grazed pastures. High stolon density, which ensures good persistence (Gibson et al., 1963) is most often associated with relatively small leaf size and low harvest index (Caradus & Williams, 1981). Stolon density is a product of proportion of nodes branching and internode length. The aim of the present study was to determine, firstly the heritability of nodal branching and internode length and, secondly the relationship between stolon density and other plant characters.
Plant Improvement Using Endophytic Fungi, G C.M Latch
Plant Improvement Using Endophytic Fungi, G C.M Latch
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Endophytic fungi which grow intercellularly in many species of grasses have been a scientific curiosity for almost a century. The mycelium of many of these fungi never emerges from the plant and the fungus is disseminated by way of hyphae in the seed. Other endophytes such as Epichloe typhina form a mycelial weft around the developing inflorescences thus preventing seed formation. Grasses infected with endophytes usually appear healthy and the presence of the fungus can only be detected by examining tissues from leaf, sheath, culms and seed for fungal mycelium. The economic importance of these fungi was first discovered by …

Breeding Tall Fescue For Improved Rhizomatous Spreading, I T. Carlson, S M. Hurst
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Increased rhizomatous spreading may improve persistence and uniformity of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) stands. The purpose of this research was to investigate possibilities of combining long rhizomes from a Portugese accession with adequate winterhardiness and seed production, high tiller density, and rust resistance. Five Portugese selections were crossed with seven more vigorous and winterhardy selections from other accessions, six from the USA and one from Spain. The Fl plants were highly male sterile, but they did set some seed when topcrossed to the adapted cultivar Kentucky 31 or backcrossed to the adapted parent. As a group, topcross (TC) …

Characterization Of Genetic Variability Among Accessions And Crosses Of Napiergrass, Pennisteum Purpureum, S C. Schank, R L. Smith, Sandra Russo
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
INTRODUCTION Several herbaceous species have shown promise as feedstocks for energy production. The University of Florida/Gas Research Institute co-funded program has tested herbaceous species since 1981. Tall grasses such as corn (Zea mays L.), sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench.], napiergrass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.), and sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) are among the most efficient plants in converting solar energy to biomass (Schank, 1987). All have shown promise as feedstocks for energy production with average annual yields of 20 to 40 metric tons/ha (Prine et al., 1988). However, napiergrass has been selected as having the greatest potential in Florida …
Genetic Variation For Rhizome Growth Traits In Elytrigia Repens (L.) Neveski, M D. Casler, W H. Goodwin
Genetic Variation For Rhizome Growth Traits In Elytrigia Repens (L.) Neveski, M D. Casler, W H. Goodwin
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Quackgrass [Elytrigia repens (L.) Nevski] is a common weed in temperate climates throughout most of the world (King, 1966). Its ability to aggressively spread by rhizomes makes it uniquely capable of colonizing large areas of pastures or cultivated fields (Palmer and Sagar, 1963). Genetic variation among domestic forms of quackgrass has been demonstrated for many traits, including several rhizome growth traits (Westra and Wyse, 1981; Williams, 1973). The objective of this study was to determine selection responses following one cycle of divergent phenotypic selection for plant diameter in a population of Elytrigia repens (L.) Nevski accessions.
Non Conventional Evaluation Of Tropical Pasture Accessions, R T. Paterson
Non Conventional Evaluation Of Tropical Pasture Accessions, R T. Paterson
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Many thousands of tropical and sub-tropical grass and legume accessions are to be found in germplasm banks in Australia (Tropical Forages Genetic Resources Centre), Colombia (CIAT), Ethiopia (ILCA) and other countries, but most are poorly categorized in terms of their climatic, edaphic and biotic adaptation. In contrast, a number of ecosystems in the developing world are poorly served with pasture varieties capable of sustaining high levels of animal production. It is likely that such material exists in germplasm collections, but since it has not been tested under a range of conditions, it remains unidentified. There is an urgent need to …
Consistency Of Correlation And Path Coefficients Across The Environments In Egyptian Clover (Trifolium Alexandrinum L), G P. Shukla, D R. Malaviya
Consistency Of Correlation And Path Coefficients Across The Environments In Egyptian Clover (Trifolium Alexandrinum L), G P. Shukla, D R. Malaviya
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Forage yield is the resultant of a cumulative effect of its component characters. In the procedure of developing a high forage yielding variety, a determination of major forage yield components appears obligatory for a breeder to gear up an efficient selection programme. Since the manifestations of forage yield components, expectedly, may vary with the change of situations these were, therefore, worked out across the environments artificially created at a single location (Luthra et al., 1974) in Egyptian clover (Trifolium alexandrinum L.). The consistency of correlations and path was used as a criterion to single out most important yield component(s).

Research On Distant Hybridization Between Melissutus Ruthenicus C.W Chang And Medicago Sativa Zhaodong, Wang Diankui, Li Hong, Luo Xinyi
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Distant hybridization can be used to combine the characteristics of different species and genus to produce a new variety. By crossing the wild species Melissutus ruthenicus C.W. Chang (2n = 2x = 16) which exhibits cold-, drought- and salt-alkali resistance with the local high-yielding cultivar Medicago saliva Zhaodong (2 n = 4 x = 32), it was hoped to synthesize the fine characteristics of two parents, to obtain a new intermediate variety of alfalfa. This paper reports on the advance of the hybridization, the results of cytological studies and the tendency of variations of filial generations as a guide to …

Breeding Guinea Grass (Panicum Maximum Jacq.) For Stall-Feeding, B S. Sidhu, P D. Mehndiratta, R K. Batta
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Punjab is a part oflndo-Gangetic plain with sub-tropical climate. Due to fertile alluvial soil, assured irrigation and small holdings intensive agriculture is in practice. Same plain land is suitable for forage as well as grain production, thus farmers select to grow which is profitable. Production of milk by stallfeeding of animals on multicut annual summer grasses raised under heavy nitrogen and assured irrigation is relatively economical for the farmers. Thus, a breeding programme on Guinea Grass which responds better to nitrogen than many other summer grasses, was undertaken to develop fast growing annual type which may be cultivated to produce …

Yield Trials And Protein Contents Of Five Sudangrass Cultivars In Ahvaz, J Bahrani
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Sudangrass (Sorghum sudenense Piper Stapf) is one of the most important annual fodder crops in Kuestan plain (Southwest of Iran). The plant has been cropped in the region for more than 25 years. However, the data are scant on the yield potential and management practices of different cultivars under these hot climates where the growing season ranges from 150 to 180 days. Kaschani and Bahrani (1985) in Ahvaz, and Summer et al. (1965) in California, respectively showed 400-600 kg/ha and 178.4 kg/ha of nitrogen as split application for irrigated sudangrass. Worker (1973) found that the total dry matter production of …
Breeding For Non-Shattering Forage Vetch, Vicia Sativa L., A.M Abd El Moneim
Breeding For Non-Shattering Forage Vetch, Vicia Sativa L., A.M Abd El Moneim
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Because of the potential importance of common vetch, Vicia sativa L., as a forage legume to replace fallow in the cereal/fallow rotations in the Mediterranean region, it is of great importance to increase seed yield and reduce seed prices. One way of doing this is to increase the proportion of pods which do not shatter at maturity. Losses of seeds from maturing pods of forage common vetch, constitutes a serious economic problem and severely restricts the use of the species as a forage crop (Abd El Moneim, 1984). Furthermore, the harvesting of common vetch grown in fallow lands causes severe« …

Yield And Yield Components Of Some Domestic Populations And Imported Sainfoin Varieties, S Alibegovic-Grbic, D Gataric
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Sainfoin ( Onobrychis sativa Lam) is a fodder crop of modest requirements since it grows on eroded, shallow and dry soils, which are abundant in Yugoslavia, especially in Bosna and Herzegovina and Macedonia. However, in this country, sainfoin is not produced on large areas ; most frequently it is in the form of domestic or domesticated populations which have low yields. Although their productivity is not high, these populations are frequently characterized by a number of positive traits which can be useful in selection. The purpose of our research was the determination of selection value for some domestic populations based …

Breeding New Varieties Of Tall Fescue (Festuca Arundinacea Schreb.) Adapted To Mediterranean Environments, E Piano, S Pusceddu
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) and other perennial grasses cannot be used profitably in the typical Mediterranean environments of Italy because of the inability of the existing varieties to survive the severe summer droughts. Nonetheless their utilization for pasture establishment is highly required because of their ability to extend and regularize the grazing season with respect to the currently used annual species, which concentrate most of their production in spring. A selection program aimed at developing varieties adapted to long summer Mediterranean environments from local ecotypes was activated in the late 1970's. Besides summer survival, other main objectives of …

Breeding Reliable White Clover For Low Inputs Pasture, I Rhodes, Rosemary P. Collins, D R. Evans, Margaret J. Glendining
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
The need for grassland farmers to reduce financial inputs, together with a growing concern for the environment have resulted in a resurgence of interest in white clover. Many white clover varieties released during the 1960s and 1970s were bred to give high yields under the current systems of rotational grazing involving the use of inorganic N fertilizer. More recently white clover breeding objectives have been reformulated to respond to the future needs of the industry and to eliminate some of the problems still associated with the use of white clover. This paper outlines the current breeding objectives and illustrates progress …

Optimal Selection Of Components In Breeding Synthetic Populations Of Alfalfa, Alena Vachunova, Viasta Vagnrova, J Rod, O Mrazek, V Mika
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
The aim of our work from the practical point of view was to combine the experience of plant breeders in selection of material differing from the standpoint of genetic and provenance and to take advantage of material evaluation in conditions diverse in soil and climate for breeding synthetic varieties. From the theoretical point of view the choice of traits important for selection, as well as the procedures for building synthetic populations of alfalfa and the usefulness of components selection in these populations had to be verified.

Effect Of Acremonium Coenphialum On Seedling Vigor And Persistence Of Lines Of Tall Fescue Consquence On Breeding Techniques Techniques, J F. Pederson, R E. Joost
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Most new forage tall fescues (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) are being marketed as low Acremonium coenophialum MorganJones and Garns cultivars. However, the breeding techniques and objectives used in the development of these new cultivars were similar to those used prior to the discovery of A. coenophialum in tall fescue (Pedersen and Sleper, 1988). The low A. coenophialum status of many new cultivars was produced accidentally, or by seed treatment after breeding work was completed. There is little evidence that A. coenophialum impacts the agronomic fitness of tall fescue in the field. A lack of stand persistence in low A. coenophialum tall …
