Description
Fall panicum (Panicum dichotomiflorum Michx.), which is a naturalized plants, is tolerant to high soil moisture and is highly productive. For the purpose of using it as a forage suitable to high soil moisture conditions, such as paddy fields, fall panicum strains were collected from various districts in Japan. The present experiment was undertaken to clarify the characteristics and the distribution of fall panicum. In order to define the groupings by compound characteristics, multivariate analysis (principal component and cluster analysis) was performed. It was concluded that fall panicum strains could be classified into five groups and their distribution could be divided into three characteristic regions.
