Thesis. aThe objectives of this experiment were to: measure leaf tensile strength (LTS), in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) and fiber composition of a broad based tall fescue population; ascertain the associations among these traits with LTS, and determine the importance of leaf tensile strength as a technique for screening tall fescue for nutritive quality in a breeding program. achemical analysis adigestibility agrasses aAnálise Química aDigestibilidade aFestuca Arundinacea aGramínea aGramínea Forrageira aPlanta Forrageira aAnalitical methods aBrowse plants aForage plant aGrass
