Observations on the Carotene Content of Some Typical Pasture Plants1

F. W. Atkeson, W. J. Peterson and A. E. Aldous

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, Manhattan

ABSTRACT

All pasture plants studied showed relatively high carotene values in early summer, but with rather wide variations. During the hot months of midsummer carotene content tended to decrease markedly. After the fall rains most of the plants reestablished their carotene content similar to early summer values. Notable exceptions were found in some plants which were practically devoid in carotene in the fall.
