Granivory and Granivores in Native Grasslands and Agropyron Cristatum Stands in the Northern Great Plains
Agropyron cristatum (crested wheatgrass) is a management concern in the northern Great Plains because of the low plant biodiversity and high stability in A. cristatum stands. Small consumers have the potential to contribute to A. cristatum invasion and stability through granivory and herbivory. …

The Meaning and Measurement of Reproductive Effort in Plants With Specific Reference to Agropyron Repens (Resource Allocation, Currency of Allocation, Allometry, Growth Analysis)
Reproductive effort, or the proportion of an organism's resources allocated to reproduction is a crucial aspect of an organism's life history and the optimal allocation of resources to reproduction in different environments has been the subject of much theorizing. Adequate tests of these theories …

The Effect of Three Postemergence Grass Herbicides on Quackgrass (Agropyron Repens (L.) Beauv.) and Selected Ornamental Shrubs, Ground Covers, and Bedding Plants (fluazifop-P-Butyl, Sethoxydim, Quizalofop-Ethyl, Dpx-Y6202)
… 0.56 kg ai/ha DPX-Y6202 + Surfactant WK 0.25% to Agropyron repens shoots interfered with cyto- and karyokinesis of the rapidly expanding leaves within two days after treatment (DAT). A. repens plants treated with these herbicides also developed visual injury symptoms within three days after …

A study of plant color in crested wheatgrass, Agrophron cristatum (L.) Gaertn
… spike colors in diploid crested wheatgrass Agropyron cristatum (L.) The frequencies of grey-green and bright-green plants in Fairway-type strains were noted and the inheritance determined from test crosses. An assessment was made to determine if spike color types were related to agronomic …

The effect of perennial grass species on forage growth and quality, etiolated growth, animal performance and economics
… each of ‘AC Goliath’ crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum (L.) Gaertn.), hybrid bromegrass, and ‘Courtenay’ tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) were seeded. A long established stand of crested wheatgrass acted as the control pasture. For 2003 established pastures, AC Goliath …

Pheasant Nesting and Vegetation Development in Dense Nesting Cover Established Under the South Dakota Pheasant Restoration Program
… 2 years while alfalfa and finally wheatgrasses (Agropyron spp.) dominated DNC plots at age 5. Although DNC plots provided secure pheasant nesting habitat and harbored high nest densities, depredation of nests by mammalian predators appeared to offset major gains in nest success on these plots.
