Abstract/Contents:"Twenty-four trials of eight turfgrass mixtures were established throughout the U.K. in 1975-6. This report deals with:- 1. The main features of the establishment phase (1975-6). 2. The relatively few significant differences between mixtures at individual sites in 1977-9. 3. The mean cover of each mixture over sites, and comparison of the eight mixtures, especially mixture 7 (sown without Agrostis and Festuca) and mixture 8 (sown without Phleum and Poa). 4. The significant (and predicted) rank correlations between wear ratings and the content of Agrostis castellana and Lolium perenne, by contrast with a general lack of correlation between mixture results and other site factors. 5. The establishment, persistence and value of individual species, particularly in relation to the amount and estimated value of the seed sown. 6. The practical significance of the results in choice of mixtures, especially for tolerance of wear. Of the eight mixtures used, mixture 1 could be taken as "standard", having been included for some time among S.T.R.I. suggested mixtures. Mixture 6, omitting L. perenne, showed many distinctive features - including steady improvement as invading L. perenne increased - but mixtures 2-5, which omitted in turn the four other species (Agrostis castellana, Festuca rubra, Poa pratensis and Phleum pratense), showed little difference from mixture 1. Mixtures 7 and 8 (described above) gave results which are interesting in the light of other recent and current U.K. mixture trials."
