Abstract/Contents:"A trial using sixteen mixtures of turfgrasses was conducted over two years at three sites - Monks Wood, Cambridgeshire; Bingley, Yorkshire; and Bush, near Edinburgh. the effcts of artificial wear in winter and of additional nitrogen treatments were tested. It was found that mixtures containing Lolium perenne L. together with Phleum pratense L. and Poa pratensis L. gave better cover after wear than mixtures of L. perenne which included Festuca rubra L. and Agrostis tenuis Sibth. (now known as A. castellana). The two latter species seemed to be a positive disadvantage in mixtures intended for heavy winter wear but gave superior cover when wear was absent. There were differences in the proportions of species between sites at establishment and these differences were thought to account for significant differences in response to wear treatment between sites. Two sites at which Lolium perenne predominated had a superior cover of grass following wear treatment compared with the third site (Bingley) where a lower proportion of L. perenne had established. Additional nitrogen invariably improved cover in the absence of wear whereas it was actually detrimental in the presence of wear, especially at Bingley. The effects of wear were much less at Monks Wood, after a dry winter there in 1975/76, than at the other two sites which received equivalent wear treatment but under moister conditions."
