Extract

An experiment was conducted to compare the relative performance of fourteen populations of Italian ryegrass at sward and three non-sward densities. The non-sward densities were 3 in sown rows, 6 in square planting and 3 in square planting.Seven of the populations were commercial cultivars and seven were 50:50 mixtures of two cultivars.
