| Abstract/Contents: | "Twelve strainsof native grasses which had undergone selection prior to testing were compared with three introduced grasses under the same management system. On the basis of the 5-yr mean D M yield, crested wheatgrass and meadow bromegrass produced 79% more forage than the native species. Crested wheatgrass and intermediate wheatgrass produced 167% more seed on average than other species. The native species, especially slender wheatgrass and awned wheatgrass suffered considerable winter injury and winter killing. This study supports the belief that most native grasses are short-lived and low-yielding compared to introduced species and that breeders should concentrate their effoets on the introduced species which have an inheritantly higher yield potential." |
