“…Earlier trials at Kaikohe (Lambert 1967) showed Ariki ryegrass and S170 tall fescue to be similar in growth and persistence on the volcanic soil. As Ariki failed to persist, perhaps for reasons outlined by Harris et al (1977), Nui rye grass had to be used for the ryegrass comparison between soil types.…”

In pure swards at sites in 4 regions of New Zealand, Roa and S170 tal1 fescue (Fesluca arundinacea Schreb.) established slower than Ariki rye grass (Lolium x hybridum Hausskn). Ariki rye grass was generally superior to tall fescue at sites where soil moisture levels were maintained throughout the year (because of even rainfal1 or heavier soils), whereas tall fescue was more productive in areas prone to long periods of moisture stress (summer drought andlor light soils) particularly over the summer-autumn period. Roa tall fescue was better than S170 under frequent cutting but similar under infrequent cutting. Herbage of Roa tall fescue had a higher acceptability to sheep than S170.

“…Growth rates of pastures containing paspalum have been measured in many trials in Northland and Waikato. However, except for Lynch (1953), results have been published on a seasonal basis (Karlovsky 1959;Lambert 1967;Parker 1970;Baars 1976), or remain unpublished. Results of the survey support growth patterns measured by Lynch (1953), and work at Grasslands Division, DSIR, Kaikohe.…”

A survey was undertaken among farm advisory officers of the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries to determine the distribution of, production from, and attitudes to Paspalum dilatatum in New Zealand. Paspalum is widespread throughout most of Northland, Auckland. Bay of Plenty, Waikato, and Poverty Bay. It is present in most of the remainder of the North Island and in northwestern South Island. Abundance is decreasing in Northland and is static in most other districts except Waikato where some increase was noted. Factors such as site, soil type, and kind and intensity of farming system influence abundance. Distribution limits are set by winter temperatures, but summer temperatures influence its ability to compete with other pasture components. Growth normally begins in November, reaches a maximum in January, and declines quickly in April and May. Animal consumption is high over the whole growth period and highest from December to March. Attitudes to paspalum were related to its abundance in 8 district. Ability to produce herbage during summer was the characteristic considered most desirable, and exclusion of other pasture components by becoming sod-bound was regarded as the most undesirable feature.

“…These effects are probably not peculiar to browntop but the extent of these effects produced by other gras,ses is not well undersitowd. Mouat and Walker (1959)) using glasshouse studies, concluded that browntop was a stronger competitor for P than was ryegrass or cocksfoot, and Lambert (1967) found ,at Kaikohe that rye= grass reduced the moisture conteot of the topsoil much mart than did paspalum or K'ikuyu grass.…”

Pot experiments have shown that browntop is more efficient in utilizing scarce phosphate than is white clover when white clover is obtaining nitrogen either from fixation or from the soil. There is evidence that browntop can reduce the amount of phosphate available to clover both by direct competition and by decreasing the soil moisture and hence ,the availability of phosphate. These effects are probably not peculiar to (browntop which, however, does have a mat that can effectively shade clover stolons thereby reducing #the activity of clover stolon nodes and the ability of clover to regrow leaf. Reduced phosphate availability and stolon shading exert a powerful control on clover growth and this control is likely to be strongly expressed on set-stocked hill country, particularly if the soil has a high P fixing capacity and easily dries out.
