The whole trial was grazed regularly during the next 5 years and persistence determined as the proportion of timothy in the herbage harvested 6 and 7 years after sowing. The pasture type was more prostate and tillered than ‘Grasslands Kahu’. However, Kahu and the selection within Kahu were the highest yielding and Kahu was the most persistant.

Perennial ryegrass was the species most resistant to artificial wear. A number of turf cultivars of ryegrass were, on average, as resistant as the coarser and taller-growing pasture types, with the advantage for management purposes of being easier to mow. Species in mixed swards reacted to wear as was expected from the pure sward results. Changes in the composition of mixed swards with time indicated that, in the absence of wear, browntop would dominate ryegrass. Wear is therefore an important factor in maintaining a high level of ryegrass in a turf. No effect of soil water content was obtained at the levels of wear investigated; this is contrary to general experience. Regular close mowing (19 mm) produced a denser and more wear-resistant turf than infrequent lax mowing (150/38 mm). Grass length at time of treatment had an effect on damage and recovery under lax mowing.","PeriodicalId":19285,"journal":{"name":"New Zealand journal of experimental agriculture","volume":"7 1","pages":"113-119"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84880910","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Chlormequat chloride exhibited no soil residual activity. Paclobutrazol and flurprimidol reduced the stem length or plant height of all five species tested. Retardation of plant growth increased as the original retardant application rate increased. Paclobutrazol residues reduced total dry matter (DM) in field bean only.

This rate is largely dependent on particle size. Experimental batches of alternative S°fertilisers, with future commercial possibilities for New Zealand pastures, were assessed over three seasons, from 1982 to 1985, in a cool temperate environment. These products included granulated ground S°;mixtures of molten S° and sodium (Na) bentonite; a mixture of S° and anhydrous calcium sulphate; imported sulphur prills; imported ground gypsum; and S° particles in five size ranges.

However, in the second and third seasons, although these parameters were increased as spacings were reduced from 3 to 1.5 m, a further reduction in spacing to 0.75 m had no effect. Neither the number of berries per fruiting cane nor yield per fruiting cane were significantly affected by row spacings, although there was a tendency for mean berry weight to increase as row spacing was reduced.
