Management and nutritional quality of tall fescue and alfalfa grown in combination, compared to tall fescue fertilized with nitrogen
’Kentucky 31’ endophyte-free tall fescue fertilized with 160 kg N ha⁻¹yr⁻¹ was compared to similar fescue grown with ’Cimarron’ alfalfa in a randomized block pasture experiment with four replications. Quality and yield of stockpiled forages and performance and serum minerals of grazing steers were …

Comparison of techniques for estimating pasture herbage mass and productive ground cover for Lakota prairie grass, Kentucky 31 endophyte free tall fescue, Kentucky 31 endophyte infected tall fescue and Quantum 542 tall fescue grazed by stocker steers
… The backbone of these forages has long been tall fescue (Lolium arundinaceum (Schreb.) S.J. Darbyshire). Knowledge of the plant species that make up a pasture and the relative amounts of each species present is important for interpreting potential animal performance. It is also important to …

Management and Livestock Performance of Alfalfa-Tall Fescue Mixed Stands
Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) and alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) have many desirable forage attributes, are grown extensively throughout the USA, and combined form a productive pasture mixture. The objective of this research was to develop recommended management practices for alfalfa-tall …

Impact of grazing stockpiled tall fescue of lactating beef cows
… fall-calving cow-calf pairs grazed stockpiled tall fescue at three different endophyte infection levels (20, 51, and 89%) and four forage allowances (2.25, 3.00, 3.75, and 4.50% of BW). A hay feeding treatment was included as a standard for comparison. Each experiment was a randomized complete …

Using Tall Fescue to Remove Nutrients from Renovated Turkey Processing Wastewater
… commercially valuable ornamental plants, such as tall fescue, for wastewater treatment without decreasing the overall treatment efficiencies of a greenhouse-based hydroponic system. The wastewater, from a turkey processing plant, was treated in a sand bioreactor system. Reduction of nitrate and …

Influence of seaweed extract and other plant growth regulators on growth, persistence, and quality of tall fescue and their potential to alleviate tall fescue toxicity to livestock
… Morgan-Jones and Garns) and endophyte-free tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.). The influence of plant growth regulators on forage quality of endophyte-infected tall fescue and performance of wether lambs was evaluated in two grazing trials. Greenhouse and field experiments were …

Irrigation management effects on nitrate leaching and mowing requirements of tall fescue
… management may influence nitrate leaching under tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) and also affect its mowing requirements. Two experiments were conducted on tall fescue growing on a Chase silt loam soil near Manhattan, Kansas. Each experiment was arranged in a split-plot design, with irrigation …

The effects of irrigation and nitrogen management on water use of tall fescue
Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) is a commonly cultivated turfgrass in Southern Nevada, one of North America's most arid climates. Recognized for its drought tolerance, tall fescue is nonetheless a significant water user in Southern Nevada. Since outdoor water use represents approximately …

Tall Fescue (Lolium arundinaceum (Schreb.) S.J. Darbyshire) Cultivar Performance in the Central California Coastal Region
Tall fescue (Lolium arundinaceum (Schreb.) S.J. Darbyshire) has long been known as a turfgrass that utilizes lower levels of inputs than most other cool season turfgrasses (Turgeon, 2005). In recent years, turf breeders have been selecting for cultivars of tall fescue that have finer leaf textures. …
