Elemental concentration changes in soil and stockpiled tall fescue leaves after liming
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) is the dominant forage in Missouri and grows primarily on acidic soils that possess little plant available phosphorus (P). Little is known about the effects of lime on the elemental ... -
Manganese nutrition and photosynthesis in NAD-malic enzyme C-4 plants
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)Based on their photosynthetic pathways, plants can be divided into three major groups: C-3, CAM, and C-4. In C-4 plants, the release of CO2 for Calvin cycle reactions in bundle sheath cells (BSC) involves one of the three ... -
Phosphorus nutrition in tall fescue : from stockpiling to seed production
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) is the most important forage for beef production in the Midwest. Stockpiling tall fescue allows producers to extend the grazing season and reduce winter-feeding costs. In Missouri, forages ... -
Remobilization of leaf nitrogen in stockpiled tall fescue
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)Missouri's beef industry is supported by more than five million hectares of pasture containing the grass tall fescue (Lolium arundinaceum). Stockpiled (accumulated autumn growth used for winter grazing) tall fescue leaf ...
