Abstract/Contents: | "Over a 3-year period the productivity of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L., cv. S24) swards as influenced by variations in the time of initial defoliation and close (2-5 cm) and lax (8 cm) defoliation was studied. Treatments with initial defoliations in the early vegetative stage, stem elongation and flowering stages of growth gave higher annual yields than treatments in which the initial defoliation was taken at an intermediate stage of growth when the majority of the stem apices had just been elevated above the height of defoliation. Initial defoliation treatments which removed a high proportion of apical meristems while the yield at the initial defoliation was still low produced the lowest annual yield. Consistent lax defoliation reduced yield by 14-5% compared with continual close defoliation. However, taking an initial lax defoliation followed by subsequent close defoliations produced a slight yield advantage of 4- 8% over consistent close defoliation. The results are discussed in relation to other research findings and the practical implications commented upon." |
