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

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.
