Description
Performance data over a 3 year period are presented for several varieties belonging to grass and legume species were compared in 2 separate randomized block design under cutting in an irrigated flat area of Southern Italy (Segezia, Apulia, altitude 74 m). Among grass highest D .M. Y. was produced by varieties belonging to Phalaris tuberosa, Festuca arundinacea, Brom us catharticus, Dactylis glomerata and one variety (Asso) of Loli um multiflorum. Among legume, varieties of Medicago sativa furnished highest D.M.Y. that outyielded best grasses. The earliest growth has been exhibited by Lolium multiflorum (cv. Asso), Festuca arundinacea (cv. Maris Jebel), Phalaris tuberosa (cv. Sirocco and Siroland), Bromus catharticus (cv. Cabro) and Hedysarum coronarium (cv. Grimaldi). Phalaris tuberosa, Festuca arundinacea, Bromus catharticus and Medicago sativa showed best seasonal distribution of production.
