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...

Evaluation of methods of progeny testing in tall fescue seed production (Festuca arundinacea, Schreb.)

Creator:

Thomas, Johnny Ray

Abstract:

Seventeen parental clones were selected, from 9,000 plants, on the basis of self-sterility, seed and forage yield potential using phenotypic ratings, crude protein and chromogen content. The parental clones were divided into two populations based on date of maturity. Group I was intermediate in maturity and had nine parental clones,...
