Notes:
The effects of management on the production of winter grass wen studied of 47 site England and Wales from 1954 to 1958.Cocksfoot swards provided better grazing during December and January than perennial ryegrass. The best treatment for winter-grass production from cockfoot swards was to rest from mid-August, giving un application of 52 lb of nitrogen per acre at this time.Perennial ryegrass produced relatively high yields if rested from early September, but the herbage should be grazed before the end of November because of the risk of it rotting.Cocksfoot herbage in normal swards lost more weight from December to January than cocksfoot sown in wide drills.Local Factors, such as aspect, altitude and sward vigour, were generally more important than latitude in determining level of yield in December. but there were greater lovsess of dry matter from December to January in the north than in the south.
