Abstract/Contents:A preliminary trial of 50 cvs of Lolium perenne, grown at 2 N levels (275 and 75 kg/ha per annum) and mown at 25 mm, was used to assess shoot numbers and phytomass from core samples, and to provide shear vane and penetrometer readings, when the plots were 14 months old and shortly before artificial wear treatment started. The phytomass and lower phytomass, comprising all plant material above ground and down to 10 mm below the soil surface. It was difficult to allocate stem bases consistently to one fraction or the other, but a record was made of differences between individual samples in this respect. These data are compared amongst themselves and with ground cover during the next two years. Some of the correlations between shear vane or penetrometer data and ground cover were significant, but on the whole the correlations were not as high or as consistent over the two-year period as those comparing shoot numbers or upper phytomass with ground cover. Lower phytomass did not appear to justify the labor of assessing it, but attention is drawn to the great importance of the stem bases.
