Abstract/Contents:"Trials of 16 Poa pratensis cultivars were sown at five centres in 1975 under three management regimes, designated Trial D1, Trial D2 and Trial E. The layout of two of the three trials (Trials D1 and D2) allowed statistical tests of significance to be applied to results from them (within centres), showing the effects of management on several aspects of Poa pratensis performance. Because of the great differences among ground cover results from the centres, especially in Trial D1, it was not possible to amalgamate data from the various centres to obtain an average view of cultivar ground cover performance, but other data have been pooled to produce summary tables. Great differences in disease susceptibility and ground cover among cultivars were found. Only 'Sydsport' maintained excellent ground cover under all three managements. 'Nugget' was exceptionally good under high and intermediate maintenance and 'Baron' under low and intermediate conditions, but only these three cultivars did very well under more than one management regime."
