Title
Relationship of Leaf Photosynthesis to Forage Yield of Tall Fescue1
C. J. Nelson; K. H. Asay; G. L. Horst Crop Science 1975. doi:10.2135/cropsci1975.0011183x001500040008x
Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation Genetic variation existed for forage yield and leaf NCE on a leaf area basis in tall fescue.
- Association No consistent relationship was found between leaf NCE and forage yield across tall fescue genotypes in the field.
- Association Irrigation tended to change the correlation between NCE and yield in tall fescue from positive to negative.
- Recommendation NCE should enter an effective selection index for forage yield in tall fescue only after other factors such as environmental stress, canopy shape and dry matter distribution are considered.
