EFFECT OF PASTURE SAMPLING CAGES ON SEED AND HERBAGE YIELDS OF CREEPING RED FESCUE
Keyword(s):
Pasture sampling cages placed on creeping red fescue (Festuca rubra L.) in early May and removed in early August of 1961 and 1962 caused 65 and 41% reductions in seed yield and 14 and 15% reductions in herbage yield, respectively. The reduction in seed yield was attributed primarily to a reduction in the number of seed-bearing culms but also to small reductions in the number of seeds per head and the 1000-seed weight. Components of herbage yield were not studied.The cages reduced light intensity. They often reduced wind velocity, lowered air temperature, and reduced the vapor-pressure deficit, although not consistently.
