Abstract/Contents: | "Two trials conducted in 1970-2 are described in which three cultivars of Lolium perenne - 'Aberystwyth S.23', 'Aberystwyth S.24' and 'Grasslands Ruanui' - were grown as monocultures and in two-cultivar mixtures of various proportions. There are good indications that seed characters determined initial establishment patterns, and these patterns seemed to remain evident in one of the trials even after artificial wear started, 49 days after sowing. Both in this trial and in the other, which did not start to receive artificial wear until more than a year after sowing, the monoculture of 'Aberystwyth S.23' showed significantly more ground cover after wear than the other two cultivars in monoculture, nor was any mixture significantly better. As 'Aberystwyth S.23' was both the best seed sample in various respects and the cultivar known to be most wear tolerant, the effects of seed sample and cultivar were not clearly separated in these trials, but they gave no indication of benefit from using anything but a monoculture of the best possible seed of the most persistent cultivar, when renovating with L. perenne." |
