Nest predation and habitat selection in the grasshopper sparrow (Ammodramus savannarum)
… snakes increased with litter cover and fescue (Schedonorus phoenix) surrounding the nest. Mammals were less likely to prey upon nests with increased forb cover as well. Nest losses attributed to cowbirds (Molothrus ater) were unrelated to measured habitat or landscape variables and unaffected by …

Reduction of wildlife on airfields through turfgrass selection
… (Poa pratensis L.), endophytic tall fescue (Schedonorus phoenix [Scop.] Holub.), non-endophytic tall fescue, endophytic perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.), and zoysia grass (Zoysia japonica Steud.), were established around a pond in Champaign, Illinois near the intersection of First …

Physiological and Environmental Basis of Turfgrass and Weed Response to Mesotrione Formulations
… contaminated golf roughs back to a tall fescue [Schedonorus phoenix (Scop.) Holub] monoculture. However, mature weeds require multiple mesotrione applications for effective control. This requirement is a major limitation to mesotrione's competitiveness in turfgrass markets. Several greenhouse and …

Evaluation of Drought Tolerance and Forage Characteristics of Millet Cultivars
… Plots were then converted to tall fescue (Schedonorus phoenix (Scop.) Holub) pasture. Foxtail millet had a significantly higher soil cover than pearl millet but the two species did not differ in terms of total biomass, forage quality, or their effect on tall fescue pasture establishment.

Influence of forage characteristics on grazing behavior of weaned steers
… forage base is endophyte-infected tall fescue (Schedonorus phoenix (Scop.) Holub). However, the decreased animal performance and disorders caused by the presence of the fungal endophyte Neotyphodium coenophialum reduces its suitability for many forage-livestock producers. The endophyte, which is …

Behavior and Physiological Responses of Livestock Under Different Grazing Systems
… presence of toxic alkaloids within tall fescue (Schedonorus phoenix syn Lolium arundinaceum, syn Festuca arundinacea) plants induces a complex of disorders collectively known as fescue toxicosis. Summer slump, a reduction in animal performance due to heat stress, is common and evident of the …
