Title:An experimental approach to wear tolerance in Lolium perenne

Keywords:TIC Keywords: Lolium perenne; Wear; Wear resistance
Abstract/Contents:"Cultivars of Lolium perenne have been shown in recent trials to differ in their durability under artificial wear. Although numerous suggestions have been made regarding the factors involved in wear tolerance in grasses little detailed work has been done on their relative importance. The aim of the research described here is to identify factors important in conferring wear tolerance within the species L. perenne. Such information would be of great use in breeding programmes for the selection of wear tolerance..." Three main approaches are given to this problem. "Consideration is being given to methods of applying artificial wear to small plots of turf and also to methods of assessing wear damage. Experiments are in progress involving the use of a dropping and scuffing tamp to apply uniform damage to turf. The result obtained from these three main approaches should identify characters which confer wear tolerance in L. perenne and which would be of particular use in breeding programmes. This work is being supported by a Natural Environment Research Council research studentship."
