Description | The suitability of 6 grass cultivars was assessed under 2 cutting frequencies in 4 experiments that were located within the sub-humid climate zone of Otago. At all sites, 'Grasslands Nui' ryegrass out-produced 'Grassland Ruanui' as a result of greater spring — autumn production. 'Grasslands Nui' and S 170 tall fescue were persistent and productive under the driest conditions encountered, yet both cultivars also achieved very high summer production under irrigation. The performances of 'Grasslands Apanui' and Currie cocksfoot were variable and depended on summer dormancy — moisture status interactions. Where moisture was not limiting growth, 'Grasslands Apanui' achieved high summer production but Currie performed poorly. Under very dry conditions, the long term persistence and production of Currie was better. Sirocco phalaris performed poorly in all experiments because of excessive summer dormancy. The implications of these results are discussed in terms of suitable grass types for grassland production in sub-humid areas of Otago. |
