“…found larvae numbers to be lower under pastures of Yorkshire fog, Poa prafensis and Phalaris tuberosa than under ,perennial ryegrass. Cocksfoot and tall fescue suffer production losses under severe attack, but outproduce perennial ryegrass at intermediate to high larval densities (East et al 1982).…”

Ryegrasses have dominated seed mixtures since the inception of pastoral farming in New Zealand largely because perennial ryegrasses are easily established, and persistent under a wide range of climatic and management conditions. Annual ryegrasses have vigorous seedling growth and can provide valuable high quality feed during the cool seasons. These virtues make ryegrass easily thk most important grass in New Zealand agriculture. This review traces the history of ryegrass use and development form the early days of bush burn mixtures to the present day array of bred cultivars Areas of research covered in the review include: (1) The selection and breeding of cultivars (2) Management effects on density and persistence (3) Physiology (responses to light, temperature and mineral nutrition) (4) Ryegrass diseases (5) Ryegrass pests (6) The ryegrass endophyte (7) Ryegrass herbage quality The concluding section examines the role ryegrasses are to play in diverse modern agricultural systems, and hence the goals for breeders.

“…has for many years been recognised as having an important place in New Zealand pastoral farming systems. Once established, tall fescue will tolerate hot dry conditions and pasture pest attack (Kain et al 1979;East et al 1982;Prestidge et al 1986); and it will also produce high quality leafy herbage over summer (Wright et al 1985).…”

Tall fescue (Festuca urundinacea Schreb.) pastures in New Zealand have been considered to have slow establishment (Grasslands Roa) or lower summer quality (the faster establishing AU Triumph). Three experiments were conducted to study the establishment vigour, herbage production and animal growth rates of a new tall fescue cultivar, Grasslands Advance. Establishment vigour of Advance was similar to that of Au Triumph and 30% greater than that of Roa. Advance and AU Triumph were 17 and 8% higher in annual grass production than Roa, with Advance significantly out yielding the other two cultivars in the warm season. Animal performance per head of young sheep on Roa was significantly higher than on AU Triumph in spring, both Advance and Roa having a significant advantage over AU Triumph in the warm season.
