“…Various management options have been advocated to maintain growth and persistence of prairie grass (Alexander 1985;Mathews 1986;Black & Chu 1989). Other studies have implicated lack of nitrogen in spring , fungal pathogens (Falloon & Hume 1988), poor drainage and soil aeration (Dodd et al 1990;Eccles et al 1990), and insects (East et al 1980;Prestidge et al 1987;Thorn et al 1989) as factors leading to sward deterioration. Natural reseeding in autumn/ winter may help counter some of the adverse effects described above as a wide range of seedling populations from 11-1600 seedlings/rn-have been reported (pineiro & Harris 1978; Francis 1986Francis , 1987Stevens & Hickey 1989;Home et al 1990).…”

The growth and persistence of established prairie grass plants and prairie grass seedlings arising from natural reseeding, were measured from March 1987 to April 1989, in a mixed species pasture dominated by prairie grass, and rotationally grazed by dairy cows. The growth and persistence of prairie grass plants and seedlings in areas where attack by insects were reduced by insecticide applications were compared with areas receiving no insecticide from December 1987 to April 1989. Summer/autumn growth rates of the pastures were increased where Hessian fly damage was reduced by insecticide application. The frequency of point quadrat hits on prairie grass was consistently higher in insecticide-treated than in untreated plots. Insecticide treatment slowed the rate of decline in adult prairie grass plant density, but despite recruitment of new plants from natural reseeding during winter 1988, the overall population at the end of the experiment was only 46% of the initial population. Prairie grass seedlings appeared in largest numbers during late autumn/early winter, but losses were high during A91052

“…phalaris) to a wider range of insects, and insect growth stages (Table 2). Phalaris has resistance to grass grub larvae (East et al 1979) as measured by the effect of reducing grass grub populations relative to perennial ryegrass (Stevens et al 1989). Tall fescue is tolerant of (but not resistant to) grass grub, with production not affected despite high grass grub larvae numbers (East et al 1979).…”

“…Tall fescue had good tolerance to grass grub (production unaffected despite high grass grub numbers), with good persistence even when they were present (Kain 1979;Fraser 1994;McCullum et al 1990). The novel endophyte (MaxP) improved the persistence of tall fescue (Hume et al 2009).…”

Recent discussion about pasture persistence concentrates on pastures based on perennial ryegrass, the most commonly used grass species. This paper raises the question as to whether some of the causes of poor pasture persistence are due to perennial ryegrass being used in environments to which it is not suited. The adaptation to environmental stresses, particularly water, temperature and nutrient deficiencies, in different regions of New Zealand of tall fescue, cocksfoot, phalaris, and lucerne are discussed, and how this impacts on persistence advantages over perennial ryegrass.

“…Plantain is increasingly being utilised in diverse pas-ture mixes (Nobilly et al, 2013;Pembleton et al, 2015;Woodward et al, 2013), in mixes with chicory (Cichorium intybus L.), white clover (Trifolium repens L.) and red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) (Cranston et al, 2015a), or as a monoculture (Lee et al, 2015;Minnee et al, 2013) for enhanced animal production in dairy as well as in sheep and beef systems. SPECIAL ISSUE ON PASTURES Natural reseeding (seedling recruitment) has been suggested as a means by which pasture swards can either maintain persistence or be rejuvenated (East et al, 1979;Hume et al, 1990). The success of natural reseeding varies between pasture species (Chapman, 1987;Hume et al, 1990;L'hullier and Aislabie, 1988), and has been shown to be affected by grazing management (Edwards et al, 2005;Korte et al, 1984;L'hullier and Aislabie, 1988), the amount of plant litter in the base of the sward (Rabotnov, 1969) and fertility (Rabotnov, 1969;Sheath and Boom, 1985).…”

The natural reseeding of plantain (Plantago lanceolata L.) in a sward mix containing plantain, chicory (Cichorium intybus L.), red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) and white clover (Trifolium repens L.) was monitored under conventional dairy grazing management between January and September 2015 in Manawatu, New Zealand. Measurements included numbers of seedlings emerging, and survival of tagged seedlings and their contribution to sward population densities. Seedling numbers ranged between 17-368 seedlings per m 2 and varied (P < 0.05) between paddocks and gradients (>15° slope versus flat). The time of seedling emergence had no effect (P > 0.05) on seedling survival; however seedling survival varied considerably (P < 0.05) between the paddocks (26% versus 76%), with higher survival following mechanical topping prior to the start of the study. Overall, at the end of the study, plantain seedlings contributed 14% of the total plantain shoots in the sward and plantain shoot density either increased or remained stable during the study period. The current study suggests that natural reseeding of plantain is significant under conventional grazing management and could be used as a management tool to maintain or increase plantain shoot density.
