Variability in Reed Canarygrass, Phalaris Arundinacea L. I. Agronomic Characteristics1

Abstract: Synopsis Ranges in leafiness from 18 to 47%, in leaf width from 9 to 25 mm., and in bloom date from June 1 to June 16 were found among spaced plants. Estimates of genotypic variation among plants were 73, 66, 48, and 26% for leafiness, leaf width, bloom date, and hay vigor, respectively. Seed yields of loreed were lower than all other accessions when grown in cultivated rows. Several lots from southern areas were poor in winter hardiness, vigor, and recovery.

“…However, the variation in quantitative traits including yield capacity depends on several genes, the effects of which are often smaller than the variation arising from environmental factors such as climate, nutrition and management (Baltensperger and Kalton 1958, Sachs and Coulman 1983, Østrem 1988a, Falconer and Mackay 1996. There are, of course, traits with a strong genetic component, such as the number of panicles and stems, and the height of the plant that impact on DM yield and quality (Baltensperger and Kalton 1958, Bonin and Goplen 1966, Berg 1980, Østrem 1988b, Sjödin 1991, Lindvall 1992. For production of grass fibre, early maturing varieties are preferred, as late ones tend to have a higher leaf to stem ratio (Berg 1980).…”

“…A plan for future study of these selected plants and others from the space-planted nursery ( 1) with emphasis on seed shattering resistance is outlined here. Several hun-dr~d p~ants were sel~cted from nearly 6,000 spaced plants pnmanly on the bas1s of apparent shattering resistance but also for •desirability in leafiness, disease resistance, and hay a?d aftermath vigor.…”

“…This experiment was established in August 1956, from plants vegetatively propagated in the greenhouse. Ten of the clones were selected for apparent shattering resistance and two for shattering susceptibility in a large spaceplanted nursery ( 1). Clonal members were transplanted into single-row plots of 5 plants each spaced 2 feet apart with 4 feet between rows.…”

“…Bonin and Goplen (1966) reported heritability of seed yield components, and Jonassen (1994) detailed effects of various treatments on seed yield. Baltensperger and Kalton (1958)(1959) and Bonin and Goplen (1963) reported variability in seed shattering, Landgraff and Junttila (1979), Junttila and Nilsen (1980), and Berg (1992) studied variation in seed germination and seed dormancy, and Sahramaa and Hömmö (2000) recorded variation in seed production in Finland.…”
