| Abstract/Contents: | "The effects of five seed treatments on the establishment of four species of grasss (Agrostis tenuis Sibth., Festuca rubra L., Poa pratensis L. and Lolium perenne L.) following sowing on 1 November 1994 were investigated. Highly significant differences were found among grass species in the rate and success of establishment. L. perenne established most successfully overall and at a faster rate than F. rubra which in turn was faster than P. pratensis. The plots sown with A. tenuis showed rapid initial establishment but failed to survive the prevailing winter conditions. Two of the seed treatments, those which contained metalaxyl, increased rates of establishment overall and had a marked effect on the establishment of F. rubra. These treatments were found to have significantly higher ground cover than the controls during and at the end of study. Metalaxyl-treated plots of F. rubra were comparable in terms of ground cover with L. perenne at the end of the study. As no disease was noted during this investigation it is suggested that the promotion of grass establishment by metalaxyl or metalaxyl in combination with other chemicals resulted from these treatments stimulating other plant responses. The other chemical treatments did not statistically affect establishment of the different grass species. It is also important to note that no negative effects on establishment or sward appearance were recorded for any of the chemical and or coating treatments." |
