| Abstract/Contents: | In recent years turfgrass breeders and turf managers have noted the advantages of Tall fescue. The major favorable characteristics have been the resistance of this species to stress conditions especially temperature and moisture and its relatively wide adaptation. The role of endophytic fungi to promote certain insect resistance in ryegrass and tall fescue has been demonstrated. Also, it has been demonstrated that endophytes enhance vigor, heat and drought tolerance, improved persistence, increased density and reduced invasion of weedy plants. The implications for the forage livestock producers remain uncertain. It has been clearly demonstrated that the physiological problems in grazing livestock are due to the level of endophytes in the forage. The role of endophytes to control a wide array of insects, plant diseases, weeds and other pests warrant increased attention in the fields of biological pest control. |
