Abstract
In a grazed pasture during summer and early autumn, a ‘Low Cellulose’ selection from ‘Grasslands Ariki’ hybrid perennial ryegrass Lolium [(multiflorum × perenne) × perenne] outyielded Ariki by over 100% and had a 70% greater tiller density. The results are discussed in relation to a possible greater resistance of the Low Cellulose selection to stem weevil (Hyperodes bonariensis Kuschel) and/or soil moisture stress.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
