Description
Four cultivars of three grass species and five grass/white clover mixtures were evaluated in field small-plot trials on persistence and dry matter production (DM) in 1993-95. Of pure grass species the meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis) was the most productive though its persistence has declined in the third year (3.2 points in 1995). Both perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne)/white clover (Trifolium repens) mixtures have been well performing with 1.3 - 2.4 points for persistence and with yields of 6.4 - 9.56 t DM/ha-1.
