Abstract/Contents:"In field trials in 1979-81, perennial ryegrass cultivars Royal and Majestic (amenity) and Morenne (agricultural) produced maximum seed yields at levels of applied N ranging from 40 to 160 kg ha⁻¹. Available soil N levels were estimated at 55 kg ha⁻¹; hence maximum seed yields were obtained at total nitrogen levels of 95-135 kg ha⁻¹ in Royal, 95-215 kg ha⁻¹ in Morenne, and 175-215 kg ha⁻¹ in Majestic. Applied N at rates above 120 kg ha⁻¹ either reduced or did not significantly increase seed yield, decreased seed numbers per unit area and decreased spikelets per tiller and seeds per spikelet. The use of a growth regulator increased seed yields by preventing lodging, but did so irrespective of nitrogen application rate. It is suggested that failure to increase seed yield at high Nitrogen rates is a result not of poor pollination because of lodging, but seed abortion as a consequence of competition for assimilate supply by secondary vegetative tillers."
