Abstract/Contents:In 2 years' trials sward development was observed on several sports pitches constructed according to 3 methods: normal, DIN and Enka [not defined]. differences in the amount of grass cover were most marked in spring, the Enka pitches having the best cover. Wear and tear was as great on all but one of the DIN pitches as on normally-constructed pitches. Most pitches were sown with a mixture of Poa pratensis (70%), Cynosurus cristatus, Phleum bertolonii and Phleum pratense, but a mixture containing Lolium perenne and Festuca rubra instead of Phleum bertolonii was used on one Enka site (at Momlingen). With time the ordinary pitches tended to be dominated by Poa annua and this species also took over the sward on some DIN pitches. In general, a high percentage of Poa pratensis remained on the Enka pitches (except at Momlingen where Lolium perenne and Poa annua predominated). Changes in root mass were mostly confined to DIN and Enka pitches: the root first developed vigorously, then decreased in quantity until an equilibrium was reached.
