Abstract

We had three goals in this series of studies. We wished to 1) determine
the extent of genetic variability and broad sense heritability for Ca,
Mg and K concentrations in these forage grasses, 2) obtain an estimate
of the relative magnitude of genotype x environment interaction, and 3)
develop a breeding and selection program for lines having reduced tetany
potential (RTP) indices.
