| Abstract/Contents: | Five mixtures, one without a legume, were tested on a gravel and a sandy soil and 4 different mixtures, each containing at least one legume, were tested on a sloping gravelly soil comprising some loss. Soil treatment with the silica gel preparation Agrosil promoted good rooting and had favorable residual action and liberal application of NPK facilitated the establishment of the sward in the first year, but prolific leaf formation in this period led to slower development in the following year, during which the roots grew more vigorously than the leaves. The most active sward-forming grasses were Festuca rubra, F. ovina and Agrostis tenuis. The addition of Lolium multiflorum gaudini to Festuca/Agrostis mixtures proved detrimental to sward formation. In contrast to its behavior in mown swards, F. rubra rubra was more aggressive than F. rubra commutata in these high grass stands and became the dominant species. On the gravelly slopes the mixture of Lolium perenne with a little white clover grew rapidly at first, but was damaged by animals and in the second year was inferior to the mixtures containing one or more types of Festuca, which were also more drought resistant. On this soil none of the legumes became established, except for a small percentage of white clover with L. perenne. Poa annua disappeared from the sward in which it had formed about 75% of the stand in the sowing year, as the seedlings did not survive winter injury or summer drought. |
