Drought Tolerance — Red Fescue

Festuca rubra L.

The drought tolerance of red fescue is a key factor for stand longevity and yield stability under moisture-deficient conditions. The trait is assessed by experts based on visual observations of turf condition and plant regrowth rate following drought.

In the reference 21 varieties crop Red fescue, where this is mentioned in the description.

Red fescue is characterized as a crop relatively resistant to heat and water scarcity, which distinguishes it from less adaptive grasses such as perennial ryegrass. The biological basis of this resistance is the ability to form a dense turf and develop a root system reaching depths of up to 20 centimeters.

In the variety testing system, quantitative physical indicators are not used to evaluate this trait. Resistance is recorded as a qualitative characteristic reflecting a variety's ability to maintain viability, ensure stable seed productivity, and prevent stand thinning in regions with high-risk farming.
