Abstract

A study was carried to compare two varieties of tall fescue(Festuca arundinacea Schr.): Fawn (endophyte infection) and Roa(endophyte-free). The study examined plant height, botanical composition, and dry matter yield of mixed pasture. The cattle grazed on a mixed pasture of tall fescue species and orchardgrass(Dactylis glomerata L.), perennial ryegrass(Lolium perenne L.) and white clover(Trifolium repens L.) during March 22, 1997, to September 21, 1997. The number of grazing animals was 4.3/ paddock(50m x50m) and was adjusted according to the condition of pasture. Dry matter yields determined on ungrazed pasture(7-time harvests) were 1,690 $\pm$407kg and 1,128 $\pm$ 238kg/ha on pastures consisting of Fawn and Roa, respectively. This difference was significant(P<0.01). There were 17.71 $\pm$ 1.27cm and 12.83$\pm$0.90cm in average plant lengths of Fawn and Roa(P<0.01), respectively The botanical composition of tall fescue and orchardgrass in the mixture treatment included in the Fawn variety were shown in 34.2 and 3.8%, comparing Roa with 17.1 and 9.6%, on the 21th of September, 1997, respectively. Tall fescue Roa represented a higher botanical composition than orchardgrass(a main species on Cheju). Crude protein content of Fawn was slightly less than that of Roa. From these results, we may conclude that Roa variety is nutritionally better, but is less adaptible to high temperature climate than Fawn. However, Roa variety is still better than orchardgrass in high temperature conditions.

본 연구는 기호성이 높으며 여름철 고온에 강한 새로운 tall fescue 품종을 구명하기 위해 초지조성 후 5년째인 1997년 방목기간 동안에 북제주군 한림읍 이시돌 목장에서 홀스타인 육성우(방목개시시 체중 110kg 내외)를 이용하여 구당 250$m^2$(50mx50m)의 면적에서 2처리(T1 = Fawn tall fescue + orchardgrass + perennial ryegrass + white clover, T2 = Roa tall fescue ) orchardgrass + perennial ryegrass + white clover) 3반복으로 시험 설계되었다. 방목은 연속방목(3월 22 일∼7월 5일 )과 윤환 방목(7월 21일∼9월 21일)으로 나누어 실시되었다. 두 가지 톨 페스큐 품종 Fawn(Endophyte infected)과 Roa(Endophyte free) 간의 초장은 연속방목시 각각 19.10$\pm$1.29cm와 13.61$\pm$0.97cm 를 보였고 윤환방목시 각 각 14.24$\pm$2.55cm와 10.90$\pm$1.88cm로서 Fawn 품종구가 Roa 품종구보다 유의적 증가를 보였다(P<0.01). 목초 잔존초의 건물수량도 Fawn 11,830 kg/ha, Roa 7,896 kg/ha 로서 tall fescue Fawn이 높은 수량을 보였으며 고도의 유의차를 얻었다(P < 0.01). 시험 처리한 품종 Fawn과 Roa 간 톨 페스큐의 식생구성율 비교에서 3월 22일 시험 개시시만 제외하고 6월 21일, 7월 20일 및 9월 21일에 모두 Roa 보 Faw 구에서 높은 경향이었다. 또한 Roa tall fescue는 방목종료시 orchardgras 보다 높은 식생구성율을 보이고 있고 혼파초지 에서 오차드그라스의 비율을 이는 데 도움되는 경향이 있다. 전 방목기간 중 Roa 구의 CP 함량은 Fawn구 보다 높았으나 통계적으로 유의적 차이를 얻지는 못 했다. 결론적으로 초지조성 5년이 경과되어 tall fescue 비율이 점차 증가되므로 endophyte variety Fawn 보다 endophyte free Roa 구에서 목초생 산량은 저하되었으나 오차드그라스에 비하여 제주지역의 고온환경에 강한 경향을 보인다.
