Abstract/Contents:Discusses New Zealand browntop turfgrass, highlighting potential improvements made to it in late 1977 and early 1978. Reports that "in the past, seed supplies have come from low producing soils, mainly from catch crops from run down pastures on low producing areas...Yields have been consequently low." Suggests alternative means of seed production, stating that "it is possible to produce much higher yields of browntop seed if it is treated as an economic crop." Mentions studies conducted in New Zealand in which "exceptionally good turf has been produced at least equal to the best overseas cultivars with which they have been compared. Further investigation is necessary particularly in relation to their ability to stand up to wear."
