Abstract/Contents: | "A trial of 30 cultivars of thirteen turfgrass species was sown in 1975 in a park in a part of Manchester known to suffer from high levels of aerial pollution. Comparisons made between results from this trial and those from multi-centre trials showed similar ranking orders for performance of those cultivars which were sown in both. Within the trials it was found that cultivars of Agrostis castellana and Festuca rubra ssp. commutata were among those maintaining the most ground cover in 1979 after nearly four years in trial. Cultivars of Lolium perenne lost ground cover considerably during the trial and were among the shortest in the trial. Attempts to link results from the trials with the locally high concentrations of sulphur dioxide were not successful." |
