| Abstract: Invasion of sericea lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata (Dumont) G. Don) into oak savannas in southeast Kansas altered the composition, structure, and density of the native prairie component of the ecosystem and reduced the number of invertebrate species. Vegetation characteristics in clearings infested with sericea lespedeza were compared with uninfested clearings during the summer of 1996. Eighty 1 m2 quadrats were randomly placed in each of the 2 site conditions. The number of grass species decreased from 12 in uninfested sites to 4 in infested sites. Native forb species declined from 27 in the uninfested sites to 8 in the infested sites. Canopy coverage of sericea lespedeza in the infested sites was 84%. Mean stem counts of sericea lespedeza were 352/m2. Weight of clipped native grasses and forbs from uninfested sites was 92% greater than in infested sites. Numbers of invertebrate species declined from 65 at the uninfested sites to 24 at the infested sites. Implications of vegetation changes on wildlife populations and forage for livestock are considered. |

| Abstract: Sericea lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata (Dumont) G. Don; Fabaceae) is a N2-fixing legume used to revegetate minespoils in Kentucky and elsewhere. A greenhouse experiment was conducted (1) to examine the ability of sericea lespedeza to grow and form nodules in acidic minesoil and (2) to compare commercial Bradyrhizobium sp. strains with strains isolated from minespoils regarding their abilities to form nodules with lespedeza in acidic minesoil. Minesoil was adjusted to various pH levels with Al2(SO4)3 and CaCO3. Although growth of sericea lespedeza was significantly reduced (P ltoreq 05) by soil acidification for some inoculation treatments, the plants were able to grow relatively well under acid conditions even at a pH level of 4.2. Nodulation was significantly (P ltoreq 0.05) suppressed by increasing acidity, particularly in Al2(SO4)3-amended minesoil at pH levels of 4.2 and 4.5, which tended to affect nodulation similarly. Bradyrhizobium sp. strains responded similarly to acidified minesoil with the exception that the commercial mixture of strains tended to produce more numerous but smaller nodules than local strains isolated from acidic minesoil. |

| Abstract: Poor and slow seed germination are major problems in growing sericea lespedeza [Lespedeza cuneata (Dumont de Courset) G. Don.]. Knowledge about the temperatures for optimum seed germination is vital to selecting the best seeding date for this forage legume. The objectives of this study were to determine the variability of sericea lespedeza germplasm for germination under several temperatures and the effect of seed weight on percentage and rate of germination. Germination response to temperature of 54 breeding lines and 26 accessions were tested. Mechanically-scarified seed of each of the 80 genotypes were weighed and germinated in the dark in a germinator at constant temperatures of 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 degrees C. An additional temperature (35 degrees C) was included to test the germinability of the 26 accessions. Germination counts were recorded daily for 14 d to calculate total percent germination (TPG) and Maguire germination rate index (GRI). Temperature had a significant effect on TPG and GRI. Optimum germination temperature for sericea lespedeza ranged between 20 and 30 degrees C. Thus, seeding time for this species for a particular location should be selected to match the optimum range of soil temperatures provided that adequate soil moisture is available. Mean TPG and GRI were significantly different among the genotypes at each temperature. However, genotypes with a consistently high TGP and GRI at a wide range of temperatures were found. Seed weight was correlated with TPG at 10 (r = 0.401) and 15 degrees C (r = 0.459), and also with GRI (r = 0.388-0.475) at all temperatures for the breeding lines. However, seed weight was not correlated with TPG or GRI for the 26 Abstract accessions. The TPG and GRI were highly interrelated, thus, measuring TPG done should provide adequate information |

| Abstract: Root exudates are substances released into the surrounding medium by healthy and intact plant roots. Research on root exudates has shown that root exudates can reduce seed germination and plant growth. There is no information on the effect of sericea lespedeza [Lespedeza cuneata (Dum. de Cours) G. Don.] root exudates on other plants. In a series of greenhouse experiments we studied (1) if sericea root exudates affect seed germination and seedling growth of the perennial grasses tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.), bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.], and bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum Flugge); and (2) if any such responses were cultivar dependent. The effects of the root exudates were measured in 2 experiments. In the first one, coarse perlite was used as a medium to measure seed germination and radicle and coleoptile growth. In the second experiment, soil was used as a medium to measure emergence and biomass. Root exudates from sericea lespedeza had no effect on germination and emergence of tall fescue and bahiagrass but reduced their radicle and coleoptile length and biomass. Germination, radicle, and coleoptile length, and emergence of bermudagrass decreased when exposed to the root exudates; however, biomass was not affected. Cultivars of the grass species differed in their response to the root exudates of sericea lespedeza. Thus, establishment of tall fescue in mixture with sericea lespedeza is not likely to be affected; however, its growth is likely to be decreased. Therefore, tall fescue contribution to total yield will be reduced. Conversely, establishment of bermudagrass is likely to be affected, but once established, its growth is expected to be similar to its grown alone. |

| Abstract: Soil incorporation of sericea lespedeza [Lespedeza cuneata (Dum. de Cours) G. Don.] residues has been reported to inhibit growth of some forage grasses. No information is available on the performance of sericea lespedeza grown in association with warm-season perennial grasses. Laboratory and greenhouse experiments were conducted to determine if sericea lespedeza residues affect seed germination and seedling growth of bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] and bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum Flugge); if any such response was cultivar dependent; and if the response was subject to manipulation by N fertilization. Sericea lespedeza residues inhibited bermudagrass and bahiagrass growth, but did not affect their seed germination and emergence. No differences among cultivars of bermudagrass and bahiagrass in response to sericea lespedeza residues were found in the greenhouse. Nevertheless, differences among bermudagrass cultivars for tolerance to sericea lespedeza residues were observed in the laboratory. The harmful effects of sericea lespedeza residues were small (17 and 16% reduction of dry weight for bermudagrass and bahiagrass, respectively) compared to the positive effects of N fertilization. |

| Abstract: Toxic levels of aluminum can cause severe yield reductions in many crop species, but sericea lespedeza [Lespedeza cuneata (Dum.-Cours.) G. Don] has demonstrated considerable tolerance. Aluminum tolerances of six sericea lespedeza cultivars (Am 312, Appalow, AU Lotan, Interstate, Interstate 76, Serala) representing a broad genetic base were evaluated in a Monmouth soil [26.2% Al saturation (pH 4.8) vs. 2.8% Al saturation (pH 5.7)] and in nutrient solutions (0 vs 111 micromole Al; pH 4.5). The soil and nutrient culture studies were harvested 30 and 27 d after seeding, respectively. Aluminum stress did not reduce root and shoot growth significantly, nor were the pooled Al stress X cultivar interactions significant. Cultivars differed significantly in mean shoot and root vigor in nutrient solutions but not in soil. Responses in soil were only weakly correlated with responses in nutrient solutions. Am 312 and Appalow had the lowest relative weight values (dry weight stressed/dry weight unstressed) in both media and Interstate and Interstate 76 the highest. Interstate 76 exhibited a significant positive response (5% level) to Al when evaluated in nutrient solutions. |

| Abstract: Variations in the seasonal abundance of phytophagous foliage-inhabiting insects were examined in sericea lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata (Dumont) G. Don) during the second growth cycle in 1986 and 1987 and during the first and second growth cycles in 1988. Predominant insect defoliators were grasshoppers and lepidopterous caterpillars, primarily Plathypena scabra (F.) and Helicoverpa zea (Boddie). Predominant sap-feeding taxa were the membracid Spissistilus festinus (Say); plant bugs, primarily Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois); aphids, primarily Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris); and a number of species of cicadellid leafhoppers and pentatomid stink bugs. Grasshoppers, aphids, and plant bugs were most abundant during the first cutting, whereas S. festinus, leafhoppers, and all Lepidoptera were most abundant during the second cutting. Grasshoppers, P. scabra, and total Lepidoptera typically were more abundant in low-tannin than in high-tannin cultivars, but population densities of sap-feeding insects were not associated with the tannin concentrations in sericea lespedeza cultivars. Comparison of insecticide-treated and untreated plots revealed that P. scabra caused extensive defoliation in August and September before the second cutting. No other taxa of herbivorous insects caused significant damage to sericea lespedeza. Defoliation by P. scabra reduced stem height, leaf number per stem, and leaf and stem dry weight but had little effect on forage crude protein and acid detergent fiber content. Yield loss was significant when peak densities of P. scabra were greater than or equal to 2 larvae per sweep. Peak densities of about four larvae per sweep in 1986 reduced leaf dry weight by 75% and total forage yield by about 40%. However, substantial yield losses were avoided by harvesting |

| Abstract: Poor emergence and seedling growth of sericea lespedeza [Lespedeza cuneata (Dumont de Courset) G. Don.] may be related to the climatic conditions under which it is established in the southern USA. A growth chamber study was undertaken to measure the effect of temperature on seedling emergence and the influence of temperature and daylength on early growth of several sericea lespedeza genotypes. Emergence was reduced by about 20% with each reduction of 3 degrees C in day/night temperature within the range of temperatures used. Height, shoot dry weight, leaf dry weight, and stem dry weight of all genotypes tested were very sensitive to both daylength and temperature. Increases in temperature and day length above the lowest temperature combination (18/14 degrees C) and the shortest daylength (11 h) brought about large increases in height, shoot dry weight, leaf dry weight, and stem dry weight of all genotypes. Screening sericea genotypes for seedling growth should be done at 26/22 degrees C or 30/26 degrees C (day/night) and 13 or 15 h of daylength. Further screening of sericea germplasm for emergence and growth under low temperature and for day-neutral genotypes may lead to cultivars with more vigorous seedlings under short day conditions. |
