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...
Eight genotypes of tall fescue were selected from a plant
population consisting of 9000 individuals. Selection was based on
early maturity, self-sterility, seed and forage potential, and nutritive
value.
Parental clones, single cross, open pollinated, self pollinated
and polycross seeds were organized into a randomized block experiment
with five replications...
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,...
