Description
Thirteen Mediterranean populations of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) including four cultivars originated from the same region with three check cultivars were evaluated for several characters relating to seasonal productivity. Mediterranean populations were depressed under hot and humid summer conditions, and were not restored until December. However, these entries showed good growth and little leaf burning in winter and early spring. Three hundred and fifty two individuals were screened with scores of vigor. Data of the individuals were subjected to principal component analysis. The first and second components were closely correlated to the variables relating to growth in summer and fall, and in winter and early spring, respectively. Although the Mediterranean populations were poor in summer and fall growth, some individuals were evaluated as the same levels as check cultivars. Mediterranean populations had also high resistance to crown rust.
