Drought tolerance — tall fescue
Festuca arundinacea Schreb.
The drought tolerance of tall fescue is provided by a deep fibrous root system, which allows it to extract moisture from deep soil layers. A key indicator of tolerance is the "Stay-green" effect, where plants maintain green color and photosynthesis during drought periods.
In the reference 43 varieties crop Tall fescue, where this is mentioned in the description.
The primary mechanism of the crop's adaptation to water deficit is the morphology of the root system, which is capable of penetrating into deep soil horizons. Combined with the maintenance of vegetative activity, this ensures stable seed and dry matter productivity even in adverse seasons, offsetting the summer yield decline typical of other perennial grasses.
The drought tolerance trait directly determines the longevity of the sward, allowing stands to persist for 5 to 12 years. The crop's high adaptability makes it an effective component of legume-grass mixtures, increasing the overall resilience of the agrophytocenosis to extreme weather conditions.
