| Abstract/Contents: | "Productivity, seasonal growth and persistence of 10 perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) varieties were assessed at an upland (305 m) and lowland (30 m) site in mid-Wales. Averaged over 3 harvest years (1979-81), mean dry matter (DM) production at 8.8 t ha-1 was 22% lower in the upland environment with spring (April and May) growth showing greatest contrast varying from only 6% of that in the lowland in 1979, after a severe winter, to 113% in 1981. Relative ranking of varieties differed considerably between the two environments and no correlation was found between DM production at the two sites (r=0.5945). Early heading varieties performed better in the spring than late types at the upland site. A comparison of the results with those published from official variety testing trials gave a positive relationship under lowland conditions (r=0.7162) but no correlation with those from the upland centre (r=0.1969). The findings of the study show that relative productivity of varieties, but not persistency, differs between upland and lowland environments." |
