Creator:: Bauer, Welby
Abstract:: This study was undertaken to evaluate the dry-weight-rank and microscopic point methods for determining botanical composition on perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) - subclover (Trifolium subterraneum L.) and tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) - subclover pasture mixtures throughout a grazing season. Botanical composition was determined on a monthly basis from...

Creator:: Pessot Zorich, Rafael
Abstract:: The present study was undertaken to evaluate the seasonal botanical composition of two grass pastures, tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) and perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.). Botanical composition was determined by four methods: dry-weight-rank, weight-estimate, hand separation, and the constituent differential, with cattle and sheep grazing at two intensities. The...

Creator:: Turner, Robert Bruce
Abstract:: Studies were conducted from 1962 to 1966 to investigate the effectiveness of several practices in manipulating medusahead (Taeniatherum asperum (Sim. ) Nevski) infested and/or dominated ecosystems by releasing competition in favor of perennial grasses. Several herbicide treatments were evaluated for selective control of medusahead and cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L. )...

Creator:: Urness, Philip J.
Abstract:: Recent emphasis on range improvement of sagebrush-bunch-grass types in Oregon has underscored the need for better understanding of their importance to deer winter range management. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the impact of various sagebrush control practices on the composition, production, and utilization of deer forage plants...

Creator:: Bedell, Thomas E.
Abstract:: Sheep and cattle dietary preferences were determined on tall fescue-subclover ( Festuca arundinacea-Trifolium subterraneum) and perennial ryegrass-subclover (Lolium perenne-Trifoliuni subterraneum) pastures in western Oregon during the spring and summer periods of 1964 and 1965. Esophageal-fistulated Willamette ewes and Hereford and Hereford-Angus yearling cattle were grazed separately on each pasture mixture...
