Abstract/Contents:"Thirty-seven fields in 4 Kentucky counties were surveyed for the tall fescue endophyte in 1982. Distribution of infested fields by percent were 10-33% (10 fields), 34-66% (6 fields) and 67-100% (21 fields). There was no correlation between the age of the stand and incidence. The endophyte is disseminated by seed via the maternal parent. No significant changes in the incidence of endophyte occurred during 4 years in experimental plots and fields managed for seed production (SP). This suggests that the endophyte is not disseminated by wind, rain or mowing. Higher endophyte levels were found in SP plots than those managed for hay-pasturage (HP). Hay yields and seed production in Kenhy tall fescue HP and SP plots were independent of the incidence of the endophyte. The origin of the endophyte in tall fescue and the mutualistic or commensal relationship between fungus and host grass will be described."
