Abstract
A new tall fescue variety (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) named 'Greenmaster2ho' was developed by the National Institute of Animal Science, Rural Development Administration, in Cheonan, Korea from 2010 to 2014. For the synthetic seed production of this new variety, 5 superior clones were selected and polycrossed: 09XFa02, 09XFa03, 09XFa11, 09XFa13, and 09XFa14. The agronomic growth characteristics and forage production capability of the seeds were studied at Cheonan from 2010 onward, and regional trials were conducted in Cheonan, Hoengseong, Jeju, and Jinju from 2012 to 2014. Greenmaster2ho showed resistance to disease, persistence, and regrowth ability that were all enhanced when compared with Fawn. At 15,119 kg/ha, the dry matter (DM) yield of Greenmaster2ho was 29% higher than that of Fawn, but the nutritive value of both varieties as forage was similar. This study aimed to make a contribution to the vitalization of the Korean grassland industry by developing a new tall fescue variety with excellent environmental adaptability.
