Festuca

Fig. 6. Comparison of the responses of two grasses of contrasted growth rate and morphology to five intensities of shoot impedance, (a) Lolium perenne b) Festuca ovina. Each curve records the mean progress of shoot expansion in five replicate plants subjected to standardised resistances (indicated on each curve as the force in newtons required for initial deflection of weighted windows). Plants were grown individually within a transparent cone, from which the shoots, in order to escape, must deflect windows of standard dimensions and angle of inclination.

Other sand-based systems using COi pulse-chase procedures have been used to produce carbon budgets for Festuca ovina and Plantago lanceolata seedlings (30) and white lupin (Lupimis albiis) (31). Significantly, CO2 pulse labeling of proteoid roots of white lupin under phosphate-deficient conditions showed that high levels of dark fixation of COi by the roots took place and that 66% of this root-fixed carbon was exuded from the roots (31). Clearly, dark fixation of CO2 by roots and subsequent rhizodeposition is an area that deserves further study in the future.

Our research on allelopathy in tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) was begun to determine if growth inhibitors were present, if tall fescue had an inhibitory effect on plants growing in association with it, and finally to identify the chemicals responsible for inhibition. 

Indian mustard (Brassica juncea Czern L.), tall fescue (Festuca arundinacae), birds foot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus), and kenaf (Hibiscus cannibinus) have been used to reduce soil Se levels near Los Banos, California. Total Se concentrations in soil depths from 0 to 60 cm were lower in all cropped plots than in the bare plots after four years (Banuelos, 2000). The efficiency of Se lost from the soil after four years for each of the four crop rotations was in the range of 17-60% (Banuelos, 2000). The cropped plots with only tall fescue had 25% lower soil Se concentrations after four...

An important route of plant contamination comes from direct contact during surface application of sludge. A study by Chaney and Lloyd [42] showed that sludge constituted 30% of forage dry matter immediately following spray application of liquid sludge on tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb). The sludge concentration decreased to 10% after 30 days.
