[Perloline content in fodder grasses. 2. Perloline content in selected grass types and its variability in tall fescue and intergeneric tall fescue hybrids]
Abstract
The perloline content of fodder grasses is genetically determined and strongly influenced by environmental factors. Tall fescue and meadow fescue show high, perennial and Italian ryegrass low concentrations of perloline. The perloline content of tall fescue can be diminished by bastardization to a level harmless in cattle feeding.
