PERFORMANCE OF FESCUE

Sixteen varieties of tall fescue were evaluated at Prairie and no variety produced significantly more than Kentucky 31 (Table 9). There were only small differences in total yield when averaged over four years. At Mississippi State, there were significant differences in total yield among 20 varieties evaluated, but no variety produced significantly more than the endophyte infected Kentucky 31 variety (Table 10). At Raymond, there were no significant differences in total yield of the ten varieties evaluated (Table 11).
