Propagantion, Ecological-Biological Features, Significance of Red Fescue (Festuca Rubra L., Poaceae)

Abstract

It is shown that red fescue form (Festuca rubra var. genuina Gr. et Godr.) is the long root-curtin cereal and a perfect «builder» of turf couver. This type contains more mezophytes than another types, though there are forms from gigrophytes to mezokserofit. In Ukraine it’s the common type of meadow herbage which can be find in forest, foreststeppe zone, in Carpathians. In the steppe zone it is mostly adventitious.
 Original never described before property of Festuca rubra var. genuina Gr. et Godr. is the optional ortotrophnyh ( vertical growth). This phenomenon contributes to the formation of vertical orientation turf (registered in shading conditions and increased air humidity). Support and the basis for this are the Tree trunks and rocks are herewith its support.
 Festuca rubra is one of the most applicable plants for making of high quality lawns and antierosion sod cover in the steppe zone including the industrial pollution conditions, in the zone of spraying by sea spray as well as for growing of “roll turf”. 
 Ecological-biological properties of Festuca rubra give the big possibilities for improvement of its range, the most closely adapted to the specific conditions of habitat in the steppe zone and introduction of high-performance seed here.

Sensitization patterns to Poaceae pollen indicates a hierarchy in allergens and a lead of tropical grasses

“…These species is native to tropical, subtropical and partially temperate regions of the Old World., 7 and according to the literature, it also occurs in Ukraine, which is in a temperate zone; it is naturally distributed in the south of the steppe zone and in the Crimea, but can spread passively by rail to the northern regions 34 . It was reported in 2013 that the northern border of the modern distribution of Cynodon dactylon in Ukraine ran along approximately the following line: the border of Vinnytsia and Odesa regions—Dnipropetrovsk—somewhat north of Donetsk and further to the east 35 (Figure 2). At the same time, according to our data, monosensitization to Cynodon dactylon both in adults and in children, the youngest of whom was 2 years old, was observed in Khmelnytskyi, Vinnytsia, Ivano‐Frankivsk, Kyiv, Lviv, Rivne, Sumy, Zakarpattia, Kharkiv regions, which are located further north of the delineated border.…”

“…Red fescue is distributed in North America, Iceland, Minor and Central Asia, China, England, Lithuania, and Ukraine (Soreng et al, 2015). According to Mytsyk (2016), it is also located in the forest, forest-steppe, and high-altitude belts of the Caucasus and the Carpathians. Its specific thickets are present in forests, on the hummocks of swamps, and in their coastal zone.…”
