TALL FESCUE AND RYEGRASS DIFFER
RACHILLA: (The small stalk-like structure at
base of seed, inner side)
SHAPE:
Tall fescue, Festuca arundinacea, (varieties
Alta, Ky 31, etc.) seed lots are often adul-
terated with ryegrass. Fescue may be easily
distinguished from ryegrass by close observa-
tion of the seed. A low-power (4X) glass will
make this distinction easier.
