Single cross progeny evaluation in tall fescue, Festuca arundinacea, Schreb

Creator:

Cáceres, Oscar

Abstract:

All possible single crosses from three different maturity groups of 27 selected parental genotypes of tall fescue were established in a randomized block experiment to be evaluated in 1962 for five agronomic characters: height, width and maturity per plant; self -seed yield per plant; and forage yield per plant. For...

arundinacea, Schreb AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF OSCAR CACERES for the M.S. in Farm Crops (Name) Date
The breeding behavior of forage yield in two populations of tall fescue, (Festuca arundinacea, Schreb.)

Creator:

Matheson, Keith Isom

Abstract:

The single-cross and most F₂ progenies of 19 genotypes of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea, Schreb. ) were used to study the breeding behavior of forage yield. Parental genotypes were selected for high self-sterility, high chromogen and high crude protein. These were studied in two groups of nine intermediate and ten...

Heritabilities and associations of seed yield components and seed yield in tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea, Schreb.)

Creator:

Thomas, Johnny Ray

Abstract:

Estimates of heritability and associations of tiller number, seed number, seed weight, and seed yield were determined in two groups of tall fescue. Group E was early maturing and had eight parental clones, while group I was intermediate in maturity and had nine parental clones. The parents and five progeny...
