| Abstract/Contents: | In two experiments, on sand and on local topsoil, sown in August 1981, football-type artificial wear was applied during the autumn and winter of 1982. The wear tolerance of the species in descending order, on both sand and soil areas, was Poa annua > Lolium perenne > Poa pratensis > Phleum pratense > Festuca arundinacea > Agrostis castellana > F. rubra ssp. commutata > F. rubra ssp. rubra. Before wear the sand and soil areas gave similar values of shear strength and ball bounce resilience but wear caused the playing condition of the soil area to deteriorate greatly. Above-ground biomass, the most important variable, was strongly correlated with both shear strength and ball bounce resilience before wear. Ground cover after wear was also correlated with biomass measured before wear. P. annua, although very wear tolerant, provided poor playing conditions and was unsuitable for football. L. perenne was satisfactory in every respect. P. pratensis appeared suitable but lacked persistence. P. pratense and F. arundinacea merited further investigation in mixtures. A. castellana had poor wear tolerance and low shear strength and ball bounce resilience. F. rubra ssp. rubra showed insufficient wear tolerance for use on pitches. |
