Beta-diketone-rich ECW reflect light and result in a glaucous phenotype that may ameliorate the thermal environment of the leaf.

Abstract:

Cool-season perennial grass growth is suppressed during hot, dry summers. This "summer slump" reduces the availability of grazable forage. Tall-growing perennial warm-season grasses that produce 65 to 75% of their yield in midsummer may provide needed herbage during this period of reduced cool-season forage production. However, establishment of perennial warm-season species is slow and inconsistent when compared to cool-season species. Before these warm-season species can be relied on for summer forage production, a successful establishment methodology must be developed. A study was conducted

Germination responses of P.I. 237110 and 'Ganada' yellow bluestem (Bothriochloa ischaemum (L.) Keng.) were compared in four experiments. P.I. 237110 had the highest total germination for all seed conditioning treatments. At the lowest temperature (15.6°C) P.I. 237110 did not germinate and Ganada had a low total germination. P.I. 237110 and Ganada require high (>20°C) incubation temperatures for optimum germination. Seed conditioning treatments did not significantly increase total germination for P.I. 237110 or Ganada. The caryopsis treatment gave the highest percent germination for all germpla

Abstract:

Yellow bluestem (Bothriochloa ischaemum (L.) Keng.) cultivars are used in conservation plantings in New Mexico, Texas and Oklahoma. The recommended cultivar in southern Arizona is Ganada. However, a population from Saudi Arabia P.I. 237110, may be better adapted to the Sonoran Desert environment. This study was conducted to determine why P.I. 237110 may be better adapted to this environment than Ganada. Morphological and physiological characteristics of P.I. 237110 and Ganada were compared in five experiments. Evaluations revealed significant differences in combined stomate densities on both l

Abstract:

Despite the agronomic benefits of exotic grass plantings for pasture and rangeland forage, exotic grass invasions are capable of having dramatic and widespread impacts on native communities and ecosystems. Exotic Old World bluestem grasses (OWBG; Bothriochloa and Dichanthium spp.) have become increasingly invasive throughout the central and southern U.S. Little is known regarding the impacts of OWBG invasion on native grassland and savannah ecology and how to successfully control OWBG invasions in natural areas.

Abstract:

The lack of consistent summer pasture supply is a major limitation to livestock production in the mid-Atlantic region. Perennial warm-season grasses might provide a solution if managed for high quality. Experiments were conducted on separate well-established stands of Caucasian bluestem and 'Cave-in-Rock' switchgrass at the Kentland Farm near Blacksburg, VA. Stages of grass maturity at harvest simulating pasture and hay systems were tested. Six interseeded legume species and two grass monoculture checks, one with 56 kg N/ha applied in spring and after each harvest, the other with no N, were im

Blake] is a perennial, C4 warm-season bunchgrass that was first introduced in 1929 from Russia as a potential forage crop in the Great Plains. Due to its invasiveness and tolerance of drought and grazing pressure, Caucasian bluestem can out-compete native prairie species. Research has shown that this species, when compared to native tallgrass species in the Flint Hills of Kansas causes decreased cattle weight gains because of its poor forage quality relative to t

Its high cellulosic content and low agricultural input recently have made big bluestem a promising feedstock for ethanol production. The overall goals of this

Prescribed fire is a common tool used to restore native diversity, control invasive species, and reduce fuel loads. However, fire alone can be insufficient to restore pre-settlement vegetation; other factors such as differences in native and invasive species pools, deer herbivory, seed availability, and the spatial pattern of the fire can influence vegetation trajectories and restoration outcomes. Central Texas is a mosaic of savanna and mixed woodlands co-dominated by Quercus buckleyi (Texas red oak) and Juniperus ashei (Ashe juniper). In a savanna, I studied the joint effects of initial spe
