Abstract

Energy dispersive x-ray microanalyzer (EDX) is an efficient apparatus for forage
screening. It can evaluate only a small amount of sample at a time. On the other hand, for
screening forage mineral concentrations it requires that the sample is a representative of the
whole plant for mineral concentrations. This study was conducted to identify the suitable
tissue in selecting tall fescue populations for high Mg concentration by using MX.
