Variation in Domestic Collections of Switchgrass, Panicum virgatum L1

S. A. Eberhart and L. C. Newell2

Synopsis: Comparisons of endemic strains of switch-grass collected from native grassland show heritable variation which should be useful in a program of varietal improvement. Large numbers of collections should be made and breeding material selected for desired characters from the best native strains.

1 Contribution of the Department of Agronomy, Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station, Lincoln, Nebraska, and the Crops Research Division, ARS, USDA, cooperating. Plant materials used in this study were grown from the 1953 Domestic Plant Collections obtained by the Plant Introduction Section, ARS, USDA. Evaluation of these materials was made possible, in part, by funds from Regional Project NC-7. Published with the approval of the Director as Paper No. 927, Journal Series, Nebraska Agr. Exp. Sta.

2 Graduate Assistant, Department of Agronomy, University of Nebraska, and Research Agronomist. Crops Research Division, respectively.

Received for publication March 9, 1958.
