| Abstract/Contents: | "Soil conditions on beef cattle pastures in the Appalachian Northeast limit the amount of precipitation that is stored and used for forage production. To determine the effect of soil water availability on the yield of cool- and - warm season forage grasses, four subplots each of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea schreb.), switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.), and Caucasian bluestem [Bthriochola caucasica (Trin.) C.E.Hubb] were established on each of two soil types (Edom silt loam - Typic Hapludalf, fine, illitic, mesic - and Weikert channery silt loam - Lithic Dystrochrept, loamy skeletal, mixed, mesic). Water storage capacity of the Edom profile was 16.6 cm; that of the Weikert profile was 6.25 cm. Soil water, mid-day plant water potential, and canopy temperature data were taken at two-week intervals starting at the initiation of growth in the spring and ending as each species was harvested. Productivity of switch grass and tall fescue was significantly higher in the Edom soil than on the Weikert soil. Switchgrass produced the most dry matter and used water more efficiently than the other species. Both the cool- and warm-season grasses growing on the Weikert soil experienced moisture stress at mid-day during July. Grasses growing on the Edom soil did not. Moreover, moisture stress generally was greater for the cold-season grasses that for the warm-season grasses." |
