Abstract/Contents: | "A dichotomous key using vegetative characteristics permits identification of grasses before emergence of inflorescences. Nine forage species and seven weedy grasses commonly found in the northern U. S. are described. Simplicity in design and terminology makes this key useful either as a laboratory exercise in crop science classes or by individuals wishing to evaluate a new forage seeding. Isolated plants can also be identified, or established stands can be evaluated before flowering. The use of potted specimens from the greenhouse and seedlings grown in the laboratory sandbench increases the effectiveness of this botanical key as an instructional tool." |
