Table 2 Linear mixed models for total lysergic acids and lolines in tall fescue plants grown in Kentucky. The grasses from the wild origins (Orig) Gotland (G) and Sweden (S) and cultivar ‘Kentucky-31’ (KY31) were compared with wild origin Åland (A) in water (W) and nutrition (N) treatment (Treat) plots. Results are shown for with all main factors and those interactions that were statistically significant. Model estimates are standard errors (S.E.), degrees of freedom (df), and t-tests (t) with P-values (P) *** < 0.001,** < 0.01,* < 0.05, o < 0.1
