Nodule Tissue

A greenhouse experiment has shown that total nitrogenase activity of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is not significantly affected when grown in association with timothy (Phleum pratense L.), smooth bromegrass (Bromus inermis Leyss) or orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) except after initial harvest when decreased alfalfa activity was associated with smooth bromegrass or orchardgrass. It was concluded that mixed cultures of alfalfa with timothy, smooth bromegrass or orchardgrass have no effect on alfalfa N2 fixation. The results also suggest the occurrence of N transference from alfalfa to associated grasses. It is speculated that this transfer is not primarily due to the death of roots and nodule tissue (after harvest), but involves some degree of N excretion during the period before initial harvest.Key words: Alfalfa-grass mixtures, N2-fixation, nodule activity, N-transference

Each of the species birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.), timothy (Phleum pratense L.), bromegrass (Bromus inermis Leyss.), orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.), reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea L.) and creeping red fescue (Festuca rubra L.) was grown in the field on 10 plots sampled at weekly intervals in rotation from June 13. Each plot was resampled after 6 weeks and all samples were analyzed for copper, molybdenum and sulfur. In most species, levels of Cu and Mo were highest in the early samplings and decreased with advancing maturity. Second-cut samples tended to be higher in Cu, Mo and S than first-cut samples. The S content was more uniform in the first cycle but increased considerably in the second cycle, especially in reed canarygrass. The ranges in Cu content were 7.4 to 14.1 ppm for birdsfoot trefoil and 3.7 to 11.4 ppm for the grasses. Mo ranged from 1.9 to 8.1 ppm in birdsfoot trefoil and from 1.0 to 6.5 ppm in the grasses. The overall range in S content was from 0.14 to 0.95%. The mineral composition of the crops is discussed in relation to the requirement of ruminants for these three elements.

New Host Records

A number of cereals and other grasses were compared as hosts for different isolates of viruses causing Agropyron mosaic (AMV), wheat streak mosaic (WSMV), barley stripe mosaic (BSMV), ryegrass mosaic (RMV) and orchard grass mosaic (OMV). Lolium multiflorum L. was susceptible to all the viruses. The four varieties of wheat tested were highly susceptible to AMV, WSMV and BSMV, but not to RMV or OMV. Clintland oats was susceptible to WSMV, RMV and OMV but not to AMV or BSMV. Lolium perenne L. and Dactylis glomerata L. were infected by RMV and OMV only, Agropyron repens L. Beauv. by AMV only, and Setaria italica L. Beauv. by BSMV only. Brant and Husky barley were slightly susceptible to AMV, but seven other varieties appeared immune. Unusual host records include the infection of Setaria lutescens (Weigel) Hubb. and one plant of Agropyron smithii Rydb. with WSMV, and the infection of Agropyron intermedium (Host) Beauv. with BSMV. A list of differential hosts is proposed.

Chinook is a winterhardy cultivar of orchard grass (Dactylis glomerata L.) developed by the late R. W. Peake at the Agriculture Canada Research Station, Lethbridge, Alberta. It was released in 1959, but a full description of this cultivar was not published.

N Rates

Frode orchard grass (Dactylis glomerata L.) was fertilized with 99–495 kg N/ha/yr in three equal applications and harvested three or four times per season over a 3-yr period to determine the productivity, quality of forage and persistence of stands. The application of N resulted in significant (P =.001) linear and quadratic increases in dry matter (DM) yields. Higher DM yields were obtained with the 3-harvest system while the yield distribution within the season was more uniform for the 4-harvest system. Total N concentrations of orchard grass increased linearly with the N rates. Total N yields were dependent on the rates of applied N with the recovery of applied N ranging from 39 to 70% at 99–297 kg N/ha/yr, respectively. The in vitro disappearance of DM was slightly reduced by the high N rates in the 1st and 2nd harvests. The nitrate-N concentrations were highest in the early and late summer ranging from.11 to.29% at 297–495 kg N/ha/yr, respectively. The persistence of orchard grass was better under the 4- than the 3- harvest system.
