Abstract/Contents:After an extremely dry winter in the GFR, a rainfall of only 219 mm was recorded from 1 March to 30 September, 1973, compared to the average of 361 mm for this period, and average monthly summer temperatures were 0.5 to 2.5 deg.C higher than usual. In these conditions Poa pratensis was more resistant than the fine-leaved Festuca spp. when no irrigation was applied. Festuca cvs, F. ovina duriuscula and ecotypes of F. rubra litoralis seemed especially vulnerable. However, in previous dry years F. rubra litoralis was highly resistant to drought. Phleum nodosum, Phleum pratense and Lolium perenne also showed good resistance in 1973 and good regeneration. Agrostis canina canina was more resistant than A. stolonifera and A. tenuis. Cynosurus cristatus, Poa annua and Poa trivialis were severely damaged.
