    Notes: Abstract. Simple predictions of deep drainage in the soil profile are often required for preliminary planning of land management where the cost of direct measurement is not warranted. Soil hydraulic conductivity and drainage of water below the root zone can be related to the salt content at the bottom of the root zone, assuming steady-state balances of water and salt. A physically based empirical model uses readily measured soil properties to predict the quantity of drainage below the root zone under varying regimes of water management and shows a good relationship with ponded infiltration rate.

    Notes: Abstract. The applicability of the ‘threshold concentration’ concept in formulating guidelines for irrigating with saline water was tested under field conditions on red-brown earths from different field experiments in south eastern Australia. Infiltration of water in the field and the effect of rainfall impact were studied using ring infiltrometers and a rotating-disc rainfall simulator.Three threshold concentration lines relating sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) and total cation concentration (TCC) in soil extracts were tested. These lines were based on laboratory tests of soil permeability, spontaneous dispersion and mechanical dispersion. They were found to predict the infiltration problems due to rainfall impact under three different surface soil conditions - bare soil without cultivation, soil with no tillage and complete crop cover, and cultivated soils without any crop cover.Infiltration rates in continuous pasture plots were predicted by the threshold concentration line of spontaneous dispersion except in a high salt treated soil where reduced plant growth affected evapotranspiration and water intake during infiltration.

    Notes: Abstract. The soil solution may contain both plant nutrients and toxic ions. The total salt concentration affects both osmotic pressure and plant water stress. This review describes the main methods of evaluating soil salinity. They are listed as extraction methods (saturation and other soil extracts, suction cups), displacement methods (pressure membrane, centrifugation) and electrical methods of total salinity measurement (salinity sensors, four-electrode methods and time-domain reflectometry). The methods are compared so that the reader may choose the one most suitable for his purpose, based on cost, on the inherent advantages or drawbacks of the methods themselves, on his need for single or repeated measurements and either estimates of total salinity or the concentration of selected ions.

    Notes: Abstract. The interaction of caesium isotopes with soil has been widely investigated and the influence of important soil properties studied. From the results of such work and a detailed knowledge of the physico-chemical properties of soils it is possible to classify Cumbrian soil according to its ability to immobilize caesium. The ‘immobilization capacity’ is a reflection principally of the clay mineral content and type, organic content, pH, ammonium content and potassium status. Although it is not quantifiable, the immobilization capacity permits ranking of the soils and indicates which areas may give rise to persistent caesium problems. Combination of the soil sensitivity classification with deposition data for Cumbria indicates that the mountainous region in the south-west of the county is the most vulnerable. This conclusion is supported by field evidence, since the area identified coincides closely with that where sheep movement and slaughter are restricted and where caesium remains persistently available to the plant-animal chain.

    Notes: Abstract. Mathematical models describing radionuclide transport in soil developed for radiological assessment have increased in complexity over the last decade. In particular fairly simple ‘black box’, equilibrium approaches have given way to more complex, time-dependent, process-orientated methods. The increase in complexity of these models has outstripped the available data to specify, test and validate them. Current issues in model development include those that are associated with times up to a million years. Further development requires new laboratory and field research to provide adequate data to justify the inclusion or omission of known soil processes.

    Notes: Abstract. The factors influencing uptake of radionuclides from soils into vegetation are discussed with reference to soil type, radionuclide, plant species and organ, and time since initial contamination. Gaps in knowledge are identified, particularly as highlighted by the unexpected behaviour of radiocaesium in many upland areas of Britain, following deposition after the Chernobyl accident. The importance of resuspended soil for contamination of aerial plant parts is also considered in relation to radionuclide type, vegetation height, and meteorological conditions.The development of an international database by the International Union of Radioecologists for soil to crop transfer factors of radionuclides derived from European experiments is briefly described. This database is now being used for statistical analyses aimed at quantifying the importance of environmental and biological factors in influencing uptake of radionuclides from the soil.

    Notes: Abstract. The Rothamsted Drain Gauges built in 1870 comprise blocks of soil, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 m deep, isolated laterally by brickwork and undermined for the collection of drainage water but otherwise undisturbed. The soil has not been cropped, manured or cultivated subsequently. The annual nitrate leakages from these blocks were recorded for the 38 years from 1877/8 to 1914/5. The soil in the 0.5 and 1.5-m gauges lost on average about 45 kg ha−1 of nitrate-N per year during the first seven years of this period; that in the 1.0-m gauge lost slightly less. The overall decline in leakage was masked by large annual fluctuations attributable mainly to variation in rainfall. Fitting a simple function that assumed an exponential decline and took account of rainfall fluctuations gave a rate constant for each gauge from which the half-life could be estimated for the organic nitrogen feeding the leakage. The half-life for the 1.5-m gauge was 41 yr. The average nitrate leakage during the first seven years of the record differs little from estimates of the current leakage from soil carrying fully fertilized crops of winter wheat. This and the long half-life of the leakage show that pollution of drainage water by nitrate will not be controlled by limiting the use of fertilizer in the short term.

    Notes: Abstract. Fifteen soil profiles in the Alltcailleach Forest in NE Scotland have been resampled after almost 40 years. The pH, in 0.01 M CaCl2, of the soil has decreased by 0.07 to 1.28 units in 80% of the surface organic horizons and by 0.16 to 0.54 units in 73% of the mineral horizons below 40 cm. The key factors governing increases and decreases in soil pH are changes in ground vegetation and tree canopy, although some effects of acid deposition cannot be ruled out.

    Notes: Abstract. Erosion and excessive runoff from a crusting and hard-setting red-brown earth may he ameliorated with suitable management. A field trial, near Cowra, New South Wales, to assess the long-term effect of different tillage systems was used to compare the effect of direct drilling with conventional district cultivation practices under continuous wheat. The soil was sampled in the eighth year for assessment of the soil macropore structure, measurement of bulk density and hydraulic conductivity under tension. Vertical faces were prepared from resin impregnated blocks and the macropore structure described mathematically and visually using digital images and data generated from these images. Infiltration, bulk density and image analysis data all lead to the same conclusions about changes in pore structure. Under direct drilling no crust was evident, and there was greater macroporosity (〉 0.175 mm diameter in section). The treatment effects appeared to be significant to about 30 to 35 mm depth at the time of sampling. Greater root and faunal activity were observed under direct drilling.

    Notes: Abstract. People in rural areas have disposed of their wastes on land for centuries, relying on the soil's ability to degrade and render harmless any toxic elements the wastes may contain. Leather tanneries produce a large amount of sludge and liquid wastes. The liquids contain much sodium and in most circumstances adversely affect both the soil and groundwater. However, in some countries they are used for irrigation. The sludges contain nitrogen, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, trivalent chromium and some sodium. Given careful management these sludges can be used as soil amendments, either directly or after composting. Application rates of about 200 tonnes ha−1 have proved toxic to crops in pot trials, though larger applications than this have not adversely affected crops in the field. Much smaller rates, of less than 20 tonnes ha−1, have been used in the field to minimize nitrate contamination of groundwater. The effects of CrIII depend on complex interactions between the sludge, the soil to which it is added and the plant species grown. Safe limits for the disposal of the sludges and their long term effects are not known.

    Notes: Abstract. Research on soil erosion under forest in Britain is reviewed. Erosion can increase as a result of afforestation in the uplands, sometimes with undesirable consequences for surface water quality. Published rates of erosion are usually close to ‘natural’ ones, at around 500 kg ha−1 yr−1. Of the forest operations that can lead to erosion ploughing is the most important. Clearfelling may also increase erosion, but little is known of its long-term effects. New developments in forestry may do much to reduce the risk of soil erosion, particularly the replacement of ploughing by subsoiling and the control of drain gradients.

    Notes: Abstract. A simple model for droughtiness, when linked to the distribution of soil types in England and Wales, is potentially valuable for estimating drought-induced losses of yield in winter wheat at either particular places or in larger areas of the country. The model defines droughtiness, D, in terms of the soil water extractable by the crop, AP, and the adjusted potential moisture deficit, MD: D=AP−MD.The model should represent well the growth of actual crops of winter wheat if AP, which is based on laboratory measurements, accurately simulates the extraction of soil water by roots, if MD represents the cumulative transpiration of water by wheat crops by mid-July, and if the latter is an appropriate date for testing the effect of drought on grain growth. These three assumptions have been investigated using measurements of artificially draughted crops of winter wheat.The results indicate that mid-July is a good choice for a single date and MD a good representation of the water requirement of a wheat crop that has been draughted to the point where yield is beginning to be affected. For the deep-rooting crops studied, AP underestimates the soil water extracted by the crop, and therefore overestimates the susceptibility of the soil to droughtIf average MD values are replaced by means and a standard deviation the resulting normal distribution of D-values can be used to assess the probability that drought will limit yields. When applied to a droughtiness map of England and Wales with AP-values used for the soils the model predicts that the soils growing wheat will be susceptible to drought in 16–84 years out of every 100. Our results suggest, however, that this probably applies to shallow rooting or diseased crops and that for deep-rooting, healthy crops the drought risk is much less serious.

    Notes: Abstract. Ploughing and tine cultivation to depths of 5, 15 and 25 cm were used to prepare land before sowing winter wheat. The methods were compared for two years with or without the presence of straw residues from the previous crop and the effects on crop growth and yield were assessed.Some combinations produced large differences in yield. In 1985–86 volunteer cereals were a problem where straw was not burnt, but deeper ploughing controlled them. In both years the concentrations and uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium differed during the early period of growth but not at maturity.

    Notes: Abstract. The experiment conducted jointly by the Forestry Commission (FC) and the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology (ITE) at Beddgelert Forest, North Wales, studies the effect of conventional clear-felling (CF) and whole-tree harvesting (WTH) of Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) on the local ecosystem and on the future productivity of forestry at the site. Bulked soil samples were taken from Block 2 of the experiment just before felling in 1984 and two years later in 1986. Sub-samples from the horizons Ah, E and B+C were analysed for exchangeable and short- and long-term reserves of K using Ca-resin and strong acid extraction procedures. The flux of K through the soil profile after both CF and WTH resulted in a small increase in exchangeable K throughout the profile after both treatments, but in a loss of short-term reserves from the surface Ah horizons of both and an overall loss of these after WTH. The nutrient flux down-slope through the Ah horizon could result in differential nutrient deficiency in future. The data suggest that exchangeable and short-term reserves of K will support about two further cycles of conifers, with either CF or WTH, but that long-term reserves are likely to be released quickly enough to meet the needs of such a slow-growing crop; these would support about 30 cycles. Other nutrients, such as Ca or P, may prove to be more limiting than K.

    Notes: Abstract. The effect of eight years of applications of five rates (0, 134, 269, 538 and 1075 m3 ha−1 a−1) of pig slurry on the soil strength two years later were studied in a field experiment. Soil strength in the 0–150 mm depth was measured on five occasions in winter using a hand-held recording cone penetrometer. On one occasion the penetration resistance at some depths greater than 100 mm was significantly (P 〈 0.001) decreased by adding more than 269 m3 of slurry ha−1 a−1. On three occasions different amounts of slurry caused significant differences in the rate of increase of penetration resistance with depth. Large applications of slurry may decrease penetration resistance because they increase organic matter, thereby increasing the water retention of the soil.

    Notes: Abstract. In a field experiment over two years, broad beans (Vicia faba), cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata), leeks (Allium porrum) and red beet (Beta vulgaris var. esculenta) were grown on a sandy clay loam soil in which a range of bulk densities and penetration resistances had been established by (1) thorough loosening to 0.9 m by trenching, (2) artificially compacting with tractor wheelings or (3) leaving unloosened.Loosening the soil substantially increased, and compacting it decreased, yields of all four crops. The mean penetration resistance of the subsoil at field capacity correlated negatively with dry matter production. The relationship was broadly similar for all crops and years, showing a decrease in dry matter production of about 1 t ha-1 per 0.5 MPa increase in resistance over the range examined.

    Notes: Abstract. Soil water samples from five horizons in a stagnopodzol were collected regularly over a five-year period in a Sitka spruce plantation at Beddgelert Forest, North Wales. Samples were analysed for nitrate-N and ammonium-N. After felling, inorganic-N concentrations increased markedly in the C horizon, generally decreased in the surface horizons and showed little change in the E and Bs horizons. Fluxes through the C horizon increased after felling from 10 to 70 kg N ha-1 a-1, the latter being equivalent to leaching losses in intensive lowland agricultural systems. Trends in concentration and flux were attributed to seasonal temperature and rainfall variations.Nitrate-N dominated the dissolved inorganic-N, especially in the lower horizons. Nitrification was obviously active, despite the acid soil. Nitrate leaching losses occurred, even beneath the standing crop. On felling, cessation of nitrogen uptake allowed substantially more nitrate to be leached as no alternative sink was immediately available.

    Notes: Abstract. Plots of spring barley, winter wheat and winter barley were sheltered with netting in a coastal area of North-East England. Crop height, yield components and grain yield were measured and compared with unsheltered crops receiving the same agronomic treatments. Plant height, ears m-2, 1000 grain weight and grain yield were increased by shelter in seasons with windy, dry weather during the tillering and stem extension phases. Negligible response was found in a wet season. One experiment suggests that greater applications of nitrogen fertilizer can counteract the effects of exposure.

    Notes: Abstract . A combination of crop photography and crop radiance (near-infrared and red) values are used to measure ground cover establishment (leaf area). The high correlation between the green leaf area and near-infrared/red ratio (NIR/R) can provide a non-destructive method for monitoring crop growth. Using this relationship the effects of pre- and post-emergence herbicide treatments (Metazachlor) on winter oilseed rape were studied. It is shown that pre-emergence spraying reduces germination and autumn and spring growth rates. One management aspect of pre-emergence spraying is the delay in achieving ground cover. For marginal crops on soils with a high risk of erosion critical ground cover may be delayed by as much as two weeks.

    Notes: Abstract. Simple equations are presented to predict the movement of a solute front in response to a given net cumulative flux of water. These equations do not require the assumption that the water content is at field capacity following water inflow, but may be simplified to that case. Equations are presented both for inert solutes and for anions and cations that react with soils through which they pass. The use of the equations is illustrated with simple hypothetical examples and, in one case, with field data.

    Notes: Abstract. Cracks in dry saline montmorillonitic clay allow the soil to wet rapidly when flooded with negligible redistribution of salts. Once closed the only effective pathways remaining for the movement of leaching water are old root channels and faunal burrows. However, their effectiveness in conducting water and for leaching is severely restricted because of the lack of horizontal connections between them. Restructuring of clay can introduce sufficient permeability to a depth of about 0.7 to 0.8 m to allow salt to be leached provided that the soil's initial moisture content is sufficiently large to prevent disintegration upon wetting (about 24%) and that the clay is not allowed to become unsaturated during the leaching.

    Notes: Abstract. The leaching of salt from a restructured saline heavy montmorillonite clay soil was studied experimentally. Restructured clay was placed in a 25-m long ± 0.75-m deep polythene-lined trench and leaching studied under flood irrigation. The hydraulic conductivity of the soil always exceeded 25 m d-1 during the experiment, and 85 % of the salt was leached within 16 days, most being leached in the first 8 days. The results indicate that restructuring clay could make the drainage of heavy clay soils economically feasible.

    Notes: Abstract. Radionuclides in the environment come from a wide range of sources, some natural and some artificial. Their biogeochemical behaviour is influenced both by their own physico-chemical properties and by those of the soil with which they interact. The source of the radionuclides is important, as are any changes in physico-chemical characteristics that occur during transport and deposition. Once in the soil further reactions can occur as the radionuclides equilibrate. These include immobilization by ion exchange and precipitation and remobilization by complexing and dissolution. Land management and environmental changes that alter conditions in the soil result in changes in the interactions of radionuclides with the soil and thereby to changes in mobility in the soil.

    Notes: Abstract. The soil of a restored opencast site in Northumberland is described and compared with the surrounding undisturbed soil. The most serious change in the soil was increased bulk density at the surface of the subsoil (0.3 m depth). Only a small overall reduction in pore space occurred, at the expense of continuous macropores. More of the pore space in the restored soil occurred as fine fissures as opposed to biotic channels, and the restored soil was weaker because of subsoiling and a loss of stability in microstructures. These changes are discussed in relation to root exploration, water movement and land management.

    Notes: Herbage intake is usually depressed when beef cattle grazing abundant pastures are supplemented with energy-rich feedstuffs but relatively little is known about the effects of supplementation on the components of ingestive behaviour. An experiment was conducted to establish the effect of ground corn (Zea mays L.) on the ingestive behaviour of yearling Angus and Angus × Hereford steers (Bos taurus) (mean live weight (LW) of 323 kg) grazing autumn stockpiled Boone cocksfoot (Dactylis glomerata L.) using a tethered grazing system in which the experimental unit was the tethered steer and its grazing area (45 m2) for one grazing session. Herbage dry matter (DM) mass was 1662 kg ha−1 and herbage DM allowance was 7–5 kg steer−1 for each grazing session. Herbage DM intake was measured as the difference between herbage DM mass offered and refused. Grazing took place during two daily sessions each of about 2 h duration commencing at 08.00 and 14.00 h for 9 days. Ground corn (0, 1·5, 3·0 and 4·5 kg steer−1) was fed each day at 12.00 h and had no significant (P 〈 0·05) effect on rate of DM intake, rate of biting or DM intake per bite. Mean DM intake was 6 2 kg steer−1 d−1 (87 mg (kg LW)−1 min−1). Steers averaged 4832 bites per grazing session, with a mean DM intake per bite of 644 mg (2·0 mg (kg LW)−1) and a mean rate of 44 bites min−1. Data obtained at the beginning and end of each grazing period on ingestive behaviour of one group of four steers (mean LW of 306 kg) fitted with oesophageal fistulae supported data for the two groups of normal steers and showed no response to supplementation. Mean values for rate of DM intake, DM intake per bite and rate of biting established for the fistulated cattle were 73 mg (kg LW)−1 min−1, 521 mg bite−1 (1·7 mg (kg LW)−1) and 39 bites min−1, respectively.

    Notes: In laboratory experiments to clarify earlier field observations, Sitona lepidus larvae caused significant damage to established clover plants at infestations of approximately 1–2 per plant. When eggs were placed on the soil, cultivars of differing cyanogenic capacity were damaged equally. The plants did not recover when larval feeding ended.Leatherjackets, slugs and ‘lucerne flea’ fed most on the least cyanogenic cultivars, even where no choice was offered. Plants ultimately recovered from damage by leatherjackets. Deroceras reticulatum caused more damage than did Arion fasciatus. The proportion of leaves damaged by lucerne fiea was highest in the least cyanogenic eultivar but also tended to increase in the most cyanogenic cultivar, confirming a field observation. At high population densities lucerne flea was capable of killing some seedlings but was not tested against established plants.

    Notes: Phalaris, subterranean clover and white clover were grown together in binary, diallel replacement series mixtures at (day/night) 15/10 or 24/19°C under long-day conditions, and cut at 2- or 4-weekly intervals. Analysis of white clover mixtures was confined to 15/10°C due to losses of seedlings prior to imposition of treatments at 24/19°C.With white clover at 15/10°X, seedling losses occurred after the first harvest, the greater losses occurring in mixtures where subterranean clover was the major component. The de Wit analyses showed that subterranean clover excluded its companions, whereas phalaris and white clover competed for slightly different niches resulting in over-yielding. Gleeson McGilchrist analyses showed that subterranean clover and phalaris were more aggressive than white clover under infrequent cutting, but that white clover was more aggressive as a major than as a minor component of a mixture under frequent cutting. Between phalaris and subterranean clover [he pattern of competition at 24/19°C differed from that at 15/10°C only in the more rapid development of subterranean clover and consequent swing to phalaris dominance.We conclude that the seedlings of white clover and subterranean clover are suited to combination with phalaris because phalaris is not too aggressive towards white clover, and is tolerant of the aggressiveness of subterranean clover. The survival of only a few seedlings of white clover in mixtures with subterranean clover may be sufficient for long-term growth provided some perennation occurs after the senescence of subterranean clover.

    Notes: Twelve cows were used in a cyclic changeover design experiment to examine the effects of feeding fodder beet (variety Kyros) at three levels (0, 2 and 4 kg dry matter (DM) d−1) with two levels of concentrate feeding (4 and 8 kg DM−1). Silage was offered ad libitum. At the start of the experiment the mean number of days after calving was 46 and the mean live weight 516 kg. The experiment consisted of four 3-week periods with intake and performance measurements during the last week of each period.An in vitro analysis of the feeds for the silage, fodder beet and concentrate respectively was: DM (g kg-−1) 189, 163, 860; crude protein (g kg DM−1) 143,76,201; metabolizable energy (MJ kg DM−1) 104, 133, 13–5.Silage DM intake decreased but total DM intake increased when fodder beet was fed. The DM intakes (kg d−1) for treatments (fodder beet/ concentrate) 0/4, 2/4, 4/4, 0/8, 2/8, 4/8 respectively were: silage DM 91, 79, 78, 83, 70 and 68 (s.e.d. =0.31); and total DM 130, 138, 156, 162, 166, 183 (s.e.d. = 0.36). Feeding fodder beet had no significant effects on milk yield or milk composition, but there was a significant increase in milk protein yield when fodder beet was included in the ration. There were no significant interactions between level of fodder beet feeding and concentrate level. Increasing the level of concentrate feeding led to a highly significant increase in milk yield, milk protein content and yield of milk constituents. The yields for treatments 0/4, 2/4,4/4,0/8, 2/8,4/8 respectively were: milk yield (kg d−1) 206, 204,21 8, 241,235, 244 (s.e.d. = 0–58); fat yield (g d−1) 827, 793, 885, 954, 936, 954 (s.e.d. = 394); and protein yield (g d−1) 622, 628, 679, 774, 777, 814 (s.e.d. = 179). There were no significant differences in milk yield and milk composition when fodder beet was included in the diet which may have been due to the low crude protein content of the diet.

    Notes: Six lucerne (Medicago sativa) genotypes (Beaver, Vernal and four other strains being developed at the University of Alberta) and five smooth bromegrass (Bromus inermis) genotypes (Carlton, Magna and three genotypes being developed) were examined in terms of forage dry matter (DM) yield and degradability, as determined by the rate and amount of material which disappeared from bags suspended in the rumen of cattle. Dry matter yield did not differ (p 〉 0·05) between lucerne genotypes at first cut. The smooth bromegrass strain 517 had a proportionately Oil higher (P 〈 0·05) DM yield than did the Magna strain. No differences (P 〈 0·05) were detected within either smooth bromegrass or lucerne genotypes for 48 or 60 h in situ DM degradability. The 416E smooth bromegrass genotype, however, had a significantly higher (P 〈 0·05) rate of DM degradation in the rumen than the other genotypes and also exhibited a longer (P 〈 0·05) lag period before a significant amount of DM degradability occurred. In the in situ technique, approximately eighteen bags would have been needed to obtain DM degradability measurements with a confidence interval of 0·04 for DM degradability of a probability of 0·95. Further in vivo studies with the bromegrass genotypes are warranted to ascertain if the differences in digestion rates and lag times are related to meaningful differences in animal intake and digestibility.

    Notes: Ryegrass/white clover pastures were reseeded on heather moor in north-cast Scotland in 1978/79. By 1981, despite moderate fertilizer applications, the pastures had deteriorated and dry matter (DM) production was low. After preliminary soil and herbage analysis an omission trial was carried out in 1982/83 at two sites (A and B) to identify the factors which limited production.At site A depressions in growth occurred in the absence of N, P and K. Perennial ryegrass was severely N deficient with concentrations in leaves of less than 22 g N kg−1 in spring and summer even after application of 120 kg N ha−1 annually. Rates of nitrogen fixation were high in spring but rapidly declined in June and July as the soil moisture tension increased. Application of N fertilizer also reduced the N2 fixation rate. Deficiencies of F and K occurred despite apparently high levels of extractable F in the soil. Uptake of these nutrients was inhibited in the dry soil during the summer. White clover was more susceptible to drought than perennial ryegrass, probably because it rooted at a shallower depth.Growth at site B was limited by acidity and lack of N and K. The soil pH was 4 8 (s.d. = 0middot;75) at 1-5 cm depth. Application of 2 5 t lime ha−1 in spring 1982 had not altered the pH by autumn 1983.It was concluded that methods of incorporating lime into the soil, together with ways of increasing the rates of N2 fixation by white clover and transfer to grass, should be investigated further. Regular small applications of N and K may be necessary to sustain DM production at the level required by the farming system.

    Notes: Herbage heights were measured with a rising plate meter in mixed perennial ryegrass/white clover (Lolium perenne/Trifolium repens) swards maintained under five different systems of management. Double normal distributions fitted to the height frequencies were used to interpret changes over the grazing season in the mean heights of the shorter ‘frequently’ and the taller ‘infrequently’ grazed components of the sward, the variability of height within the two components, and the proportions of the two components in the sward. An attempt was also made to demonstrate that the overlap of these components, implicit in fitting double normal distributions, is a true reflection of the height distributions of frequently and infrequently grazed areas of the sward, and that the fitting of such a distribution provides a useful estimate of the proportion of a sward which is infrequently grazed.

    Notes: Grasslands in Greece are composed of a large variety of plant species, but they have relatively low productivity due to their misuse by domestic animals for thousands of years, and also to soil and climatic factors. Fertilizer application can improve productivity by affecting herbage yield, botanical composition, earliness of spring growth and quality. The application of N and P generally alters species composition and increases dry matter and crude protein yields, while the addition of K is often not effective. Also, NP fertilizer increases the in vitro digestibility while N often decreases P, Ca, Mg and Zn contents of herbage. It appears that Greek grasslands cannot utilize as much N as their temperate counterparts and that their soils are usually deficient in P. This indicates that NP fertilizer is necessary to secure increased yields with P being important in achieving a balanced grass-legume composition in the plant cover.

    Notes: Herbage growth was measured in two contrasting years on five farms representing a range of soil types. On fields cut for conservation in 1982 DM production varied between farms from 12.3 tha-1 to 14.1 tha-1 in line with fertilizer N levels, which ranged from 220 to 333 kg ha-1. In 1983 production was from 10.3 tha-1 to 12.3 tha-1; this again corresponded with fertilizer N, except on farm B which had the shallowest soils. On fields used for grazing all farmers used rotational management. Herbage accumulation was measured by trimming to 25 mm and harvesting after 4 weeks. As on conservation fields, herbage accumulation was generally greater on farms using more N, at least up to 300 kg ha-1.In 1982 growth consistently exceeded predictions based on plot experiments. In 1983 growth was on average less than predicted on grazing fields but slightly more than predicted on cutting fields-We conclude that such predictions of annual production are a valuable aid to farm planning, and need not be reduced to allow for on-farm conditions, although they are least good at low levels of N. Predictions of individual cuts were not satisfactory, with a strong tendency to overestimate first cut and underestimate second cut.There was no indication that annual herbage production was less on badly drained than on well drained soils. Indeed, in the dry summer of 1983 badly drained land appeared to have an advantage, despite considerable poaching damage in the spring. Furthermore, there was no evidence that production was deficient on swards dominated by Holcus and Agrostis spp.

    Notes: Utilized Metabolizable Energy output was calculated and herbage utilization evaluated in two contrasting years on five profitable farms representing a range of soil types.Annual UME output was 72 GJ ha-1 on average, with a range from 47 to 91 GJ ha-1. Grazed grass provided 66% of the utilized metabolizable energy, and conserved grass 34%. Higher utilized metabolizable energy output was not always obtained at higher fertilizer N inputs, even when soil moisture conditions favoured herbage growth.The efficiency of utilization of herbage conserved (almost always as silage rather than hay) was calculated by expressing utilized metabolizable energy output as a proportion of the quantity of herbage cut, measured by swath weighings; the mean value was 64%, with a range from 55 to 73%. Cellulose analyses indicated that mean dry matter losses via CO2 and effluent were 10%; the remaining 26% loss appeared to be due to physical losses in the field, surface waste and wastage at feedout.For grazed herbage the utilized metabolizable energy output was expressed as a proportion of herbage accumulation measured over 28-day periods. The resultant apparent efficiency of utilization averaged 67%, with a wide range from 51 to 83%. The lowest values were on badly drained farms.It is suggested that:(i) there is considerable potential for increasing output from grazing on dairy farms; higher grazing pressure and more flexible management would be needed. Targets should probably be set lower on badly drained soils;(ii) there is great potential for increasing the efficiency of utilization of conserved forage, by careful application of existing technology;(iii) on the farms studied the utilized metabolizable energy output from grazed and conserved fields appeared to be similar.

    Notes: A mixture of perennial and hybrid ryegrasses(234 g DM kg-1) was forage harvested and ensiled after a 24-h wilt in good ensiling conditions in 2-t capacity silos with no additive application (control) or with the application of either Lactobacillus plantarum, 4 × 106 (g fresh weight of grass)-1, or of 31 formic acid t-1. Sufficient 2-kg capacity laboratory silos were also filled with grass to monitor the changes in chemical composition of the ensiled grass with time. In laboratory silos, inoculation with L. plantarum resulted in a more rapid fall in silage pH (p 〈 0.001) and a more rapid production of lactic acid (P 〈 0.001) than in the control silage. At the end of the storage period (laboratory silos, 80 d; 2-t silos, 200-300 d), the inoculated silos had lower pH (p ammonia-N (g kg N1) and acetic acid contents (p 〈 0.01) and higher water soluble carbohydrate (WSC), lactic acid (P〈00.1) and ethanol (p 〈 0.05) contents than the control silage. The formic acid-treated silage had significantly lower contents of ammonia-N (g kg N-1, p 〈 0.05), acetic and tactic acids (p〈0.01) and higher contents of WSC and ethanol (p 〈 0.01) than the control silage. When fed to wether sheep, the digestibilities of DM, organic matter and gross energy were not altered by additive treatment. The digestibility of modified acid-detergent fibre was lower for both the inoculated (P 〈 0.01) and formic acid-treated silages (p 〈 0.05). However, N retention was improved (p 〈 0.05) by both additive treatments. Silage intake was improved (p 〈 0.01) by additive treatment from 53.4 (control) to 58.0 (inoculated) and 60.4 (formic acid) g DM (kg live weight0.75)-1d-1.

    Notes: In plots of perennial ryegrass and white clover, regular treatment with chlorpyrifos and methiocarb more than trebled the clover content of the sward, compared with untreated plots, in just over 2 years from sowing. Chlorpyrifos alone accounted for most of the effect, which was attributed mainly to the control of Sitona lepidus. Combined treatment increased total herbage dry matter yield by 4·24 t ha−1 during this period but had little effect on grass-only plots. Methiocarb appeared to have contributed by assisting earlier establishment of clover, but otherwise had little effect until slugs, which were initially uncommon, became more abundant in the later stages of the experiment. The effect of slug control was most noticeable in a cultivar of low cyanogenic potential. This factor did not influence the effect of chlorpyrifos.

    Notes: A series of laboratory experiments is described to investigate the susceptibility of grass forage to losses during mechanical field conservation operations in relation to dry matter content. Losses were measured during a simulated manual ‘tedding’ treatment carried out on grass samples being dried on a laboratory thin-layer drying rig. Values of loss per successive treatment remained at a near constant low level at low dry matter (DM) contents, except for a somewhat higher loss level from the first treatment. As DM content rose above about 60%, the level of loss per treatment rose rapidly with increase in DM content. A relationship between loss per treatment and DM content was derived from the data by a bilinear regression analysis, and this will be incorporated into an Operational Research model of forage conservation systems.

    Notes: Two experiments investigating the effects of simulated continuous defoliation on white clover development and senescence are described. Stolons growing in boxes in a glasshouse were defoliated repeatedly by hand to simulate different intensities of continuous grazing by sheep. The experiments continued in both instances until eleven leaves had been produced on stolons in the most favourable treatment.It was found that leaf dry matter production was reduced in proportion to the leaf complement of the stolon. Reduction of the leaf complement from two leaves to one leaf led to a reduction in subsidiary branch production of about 25% and an increase in percentage dead stolon from 33 to 44%, If no fully expanded leaves were retained branch production fell to 40% or less of that observed when two leaves were retained.Stolons growing in swards continuously grazed by sheep usually have a green leaf complement varying between zero and two leaves per growing point. The consequences of maintaining different leaf complements in this range are discussed in the light of the current experiments.

    Notes: The difficulty in matching the herbage requirements of grazing dairy cows to herbage production, due mainly to the unpredictability of the latter., causes stocking rates to be too low for maximum per hectare production and, thus, cows to be underfed at certain times in the grazing season. Conserved forage may be used as a supplement for grazing dairy cows in order to reduce variation in forage intake by the cow, to allow pasture stocking rates to be increased and to increase the efficiency of land use. The effect of offering conserved forage with herbage on intakes and production is reviewed in comparison to both ad libitum and restricted herbage. Total nutrient intakes and milk fat + protein yields are reduced for cows offered herbage and supplementary forage compared with cows offered ad libitum herbage, but increased compared with cows offered a restricted herbage level. Increasing pasture stocking rates may allow increases in utilized metabolizable energy levels from grassland but further research is needed in this area. Both grass and maize silage supplements offer potential for increasing the efficiency of land use, but in the case of grass silage this is only achieved in the best management practices.

    Notes: The seasonal variation in herbage mass and nitrogen fixing (acetylene reducing) activity of white clover in an upland sward, cut weekly to 3·5 cm from mid-May until mid-October, was measured. Acetylene reducing activity (ARA) was measured over a 24-h period at 3-weekiy intervals starting on 3 March 1983. Clover leaf and Stalon biomass was measured by harvest of the assay truces, and from mid-May quadrat euts to 3·5 cm above the soil surface provided estimates of herbage accumulation.Little A RA was detected in March, but activity increased substantially after 10 cm soil temperatures reached 〉 3°C, and peak activity per unit of clover leaf dry weight occurred in June and July; standing clover leaf dry matter increased during the season to a maximum of 60·5 g m−1 in June. Acetylene reducing activity was positively correlated with the number of rooted nodes, and Stalon and leaf dry weights in early spring. Thereafter, except during a period of summer drought, ARA was positively correlated with the amount of clover leaf material.Clover population density increased during the season and maximum growing point numbers (5540 m−1) occurred in September; maximum leaf number per unit area (12 984 m−1) was found in October, prior to the final cutting of the site.Results suggest that higher levels of nitrogen fixation in upland swards should be obtained if sward management regimes, which encourage a high clover leaf area, are adopted.

    Notes: Four treatments designed to affect some environmental factors during germination and establishment of alfalfa were: two sowing dates (March and May) to produce differences in temperature, light and soil moisture; two sowing methods (notill drill and hand sowing) for creating different degrees of soil-seed contact; mowing and banded and broadcast sprays of glyphosate to produce varying degrees of plant competition; and methiocarb bait combined with carbofuran granules vs. no pesticide to establish different levels of invertebrate feeding.Alfalfa dry matter (DM) production was affected very little by sowing date in two identical experiments. It was unaffacted by sowing method in experiment 1 (1983) but was significantly higher when alfalfa was sown with a drill in the second trial (1984). Highest alfalfa DM yields were achieved when competition was suppressed by broadcast spraying rather than bands, but details of effect differed in the two experiments.Pesticide treatments yielded more alfalfa DM in the year of establishment. Slugs, Deroceras leave (Müller) and D. reticulatum (Müller), and the potato leafhopper, Empoasca fabae (Harris), were among the potential pest species controlled and may have been partly responsible for the observed effects.

    Notes: Plants of two contrasting white clover varieties (cv. Aberystwyth S184 and Olwen) were planted in the field in spring in each of 2 years at four densities (9, 25, 49 and 100 plants m−2) in 1-m2 plots. The effect of plant density on stolon growth and development and the components of seed yield was subsequently measured.Stolon growth and development was influenced by plant density, variety and year. At low plant densities both white clover varieties produced longer primary stolons than at higher densities. Plant density, however, had no significant effect on the number of inflorescences at harvest. At the high stolon densities there were significantly fewer reproductive nodes per primary stolon than at the lower plant densities. Plant density did not significantly affect any other seed yield components, but the number of inflorescences at harvest, florets per inflorescence, seed set per floret and 1000-seed weight were all significantly influenced by both variety and year.The relationship between the vegetative and reproductive growth of white clover is discussed in relation to plant density, variety and climate and the possible role of defoliation managements on inflorescence development.

    Notes: A study was made to characterize the effect of the duration of regrowth on the pattern of changes in the major physiological processes involved in the net accumulation of herbage, and so to provide a rational basis for optimizing production under rotational grazing.During regrowth following a severe defoliation, rates of canopy photosynthesis, and so the rate of production of new leaves, increased rapidly but there was a delay before there was a corresponding increase in the rate of leaf death. Although the amount available for harvest (crop live dry weight, W) continued to increase as the duration of regrowth was extended from ‘short’ (12–13 days), through ‘medium’ (19–23 days) to ‘long’ (30-34 days), there was not a continued increase in the average growth rate – the increase in the weight of the crop, (W – Wo), divided by the duration of regrowth, t, In this study, the average growth rate (based on changes in the weight of lamina alone) increased as the duration of regrowth was extended from 12-13 to 19-23 days but changed little as the duration of regrowth was extended from 19-23 days to 30-34 days. In spring and summer, elongating stems increased the average growth rate (of lamina plus stem) up to 30-34 days but the accumulated stem material could not reliably be harvested by sheep.A mathematical model was used to explain why the average growth rate is characteristically insensitive to the duration of regrowth beyond a given minimum duration. For practical purposes, we suggest from the results of this study that regrowths of at least 14 days but less than 28 days will be effective in achieving not only close to the maximum average growth rate of highly digestible material, but also in sustaining a densely tillered, leafy sward which regrows rapidly from severe defoliation and is more reliably harvested (utilized) by sheep.

    Notes: The possibility of increasing the herbage utilized over a grazing season was investigated in a study comparing continuously stocked steady-state swards maintained at optimum height (3.5 cm) with intermittently grazed swards. The intermittent systems were designed (a) to allow periodic increase in leaf area and hence growth rate, (b)to ensure that the accumulated herbage was eaten before it senesced, and (c) lo retain high tiller density by alternating periods of herbage accumulation with periods of continuous stocking.Two treatments (no animals or animal numbers reduced to half those on the 3.5 cm steady-state treatment) were used during the 17-18-d periods of herbage accumulation. Grazing down was completed in 3–4 d, after which two treatments (14 d or 28 d) were used for the intervening periods of continuous stocking when sward height was maintained at 3.5 cm.Herbage production was estimated using the tissue turnover technique, with tiller population densities and rates of growth, senescence and net production per tiller measured at frequent intervals.Intermittent grazing treatments where animals were removed during herbage accumulation resulted in changes in tiller size and number, and in growth rates, but not senescence rates, per tiller such that short-term deviations in the net rate of herbage production occurred compared with the continuously stocked control. The periods of advantage during phases of herbage accumulation were counterbalanced by those of disadvantage during the subsequent steady-state phases. Where animal numbers were reduced during herbage accumulation, sward conditions differed little from those of the continuously stocked control, implying that intake per individual animal was increased.It was concluded that intermittent grazing systems offered no advantage over simpler continuous stocking systems, provided that a flexible approach to conservation was incorporated to allow control of sward conditions on the grazed area.

    Notes: Applications of N fertilizer (0.40, 80, 120 and 240 kg N ha−1 year−1 in dressings of 40 or 80 kg N ha−1) were made to a perennial ryegrass/white clover (Lolium perenne L. Trifolium repens L.) pasture growing on a humus iron podzol reclaimed from heather (Calluna vulgaris L.) moor in 1982 and 1983. Where no N was applied, estimates of Ni fixation and mineralization were almost equal, being approximately 50 kg N ha−1 year−1 from each source. Apparent efficiencies of fertilizer use were generally low; for each dressing they ranged between –0·7 and 25·5 kg dry matter (DM)kgN−1. Also, responses to N fertilizer were affected by previous dressings. The net N recovery in harvested herbage from application of 120 kg N ha−1 year−1 was 30 kg N ha−1 year−1.

    Notes: The effects of fasting on feeding behaviour, intake rates, and diet quality were studied with steers grazing vegetative Lolium multiflorum swards. Fasting interrupted the normal alternation of grazing and rumination and led to longer grazing times (0·65 vs. 0·45 of observed time), shorter rumination times (0·15 vs. 0·30 of observed time), and higher total dry matter (DM) intakes (6200 g DM vs. 3750 g DM d−1)-Fasting did not affect prehended bite size which averaged 047 g DM bite−1. Declining bite size within a day was explicable by changes in herbage mass. Biting rate (38.9 bites min−1) and instantaneous intake rate (2675 g DM min−1) of fasted animals were considerably higher than non-fasting animals in the mornings, but neutral detergent fibre (NDF) concentration of the diet (0 742 of organic matter) was generally not depressed by fasting. Consequently, non-fasted animals appeared to be feeding suboptimally since their nutrient intake rates were considerably lower than that which they are capable of exhibiting. Mastication rates per unit NDF intake were considerably lower in the morning for fasted animals (0·78 chews g−1 NDF intake) which suggested that their intake rates may have led to larger ingested particle size. Therefore, on Lolium multifiorum swards, the steers attained a higher intake rate by masticating the forage less while maintaining diet quality.

    Notes: Spring-seeded rape requires approximately two-thirds of the growing season in the north-cast USA, to reach physiological maturity. Harvest frequency studies were conducted with rapes and rape hybrids in Pennsylvania to determine whether forage yields and/or quality can be improved with multiple harvests, and whether cultivars respond similarly to harvest management. Nitrogen was applied at 75 kg ha−1 at seeding and 75 kg ha−1 70 d after seeding. Additional fertilizer was applied according to soil test results. A split-split-block design was used. Harvest frequencies of 180, 90, 60, or 30 d were randomly assigned to blocks. Cultivars were randomized within each harvest frequency, with four replicates. Amount of regrowth of all cultivars after mid-August was highly variable, depending on weather. Foliar diseases and aphids lowered yields in different years. Cultivars differed in susceptibility to diseases and aphids as well as in morphology. Forage yields and crude protein yields of rape generally were highest with the 90-d harvest frequency, whereas crude protein concentration was highest with the 30-d frequency. Mean in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) values were high regardless of harvest frequency, cuttivar, or sampling date. Yield differences between cultivars generally were greatest with one harvest at 180 d; mean yield was highest for forage rapes, intermediate for winter oil rapes, and lowest for rape x Chinese cabbage hybrids. Under frequent harvesting, BLE rape and the rape x Chinese cabbage hybrid performances were exceptional as regards forage yield and quality.

    Notes: A small plot grazing trial was conducted in the Eastern Plains of Colombia to assess seasonal forage quality and selection by oesophageal-fistulated steers of Arachis pintoi associated with four Brachiaria species. Quality of the legume was high in terms of leaf crude protein (CP) (17%) and in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) (62%) but varied with season of the year. Associated grasses bad high average leaf CP levels in the dry (7.8%) and wet (98%) seasons. The legume content in the forage on offer was high and varied, from 28% in the dry season to 58% in the wet season. Corresponding values m the diet selected were 37%. and 60%, indicating that animals selected legume in a slightly higher proportion than was present in the total forage on offer. This was further confirmed by selection indices greater than 0–5 in three of the four associations and by a selection index of 0–56 when pooling the data for the four pastures. Increased grass quality and high legume selection resulted in a high quality diet in the dry (CP 9 7%; IVDMD 61 %) and wet (CP 156%; IVDMD 62%) seasons. The results indicated that A. pintoi is a high quality legume, well accepted by grazing cattle throughout the year in the savannas.

    Notes: Three contrasting defoliation regimes for dairy cows—four cuts annually, severe rotational grazing and lax rotational grazing integrated with cutting—were compared in terms of herbage production, selection and intake per cow. Lax and severe grazing were compared simultaneously and grazing intensity was characterized by means of changes in herbage mass and sward height during grazing.Herbage growth and yield were similar under cutting, severe grazing and lax grazing/cutting (120 t organic matter (OM) ha−1). Herbage quality and leaf production were highest with severe grazing, which also had a less marked seasonal pattern of growth. The herbage intake per cow was 111 kg OM d−1 with severe grazing and proportionately (0-20) higher at lax grazing/ cutting. 050 of the herbage yield was harvested by cutting at lax grazing/cutting. Selectivity was described with high certainly by the nutrient content prior to defoliation and by the degree of defoliation. Models to quantify this are presented.Grazing intensity could be described by the size and degree of utilization of the fouled area, and herbage intake was quantified by means of herbage height before and after grazing. Within the range of 80-240 mm sward height prior to grazing, height measurements led to realistic and more accurate estimates than those obtained by measuring organic matter disappearance.Herbage utilization was depressed significantly by increasing maturity of herbage due to lower nutritive value, but in particular due to reduced green leaf content and increased reproductive development. If sward height did not exceed 250 mm at any time, good utilization by grazing could be obtained.

    Notes: The influence of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) on germination and seedling growth of birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.) was evaluated during 1983-85 at Manhattan, Kansas. Studies were designed to evaluate tall fescue cv. Kentucky-31 for possible allelopathic compounds, determine the effects of tall fescue on the germination, seedling growth and yield of birdsfoot trefoil, and to characterize the chemical properties of tall fescue. Fescue produced allelopathic compounds, particularly during the spring and autumn months when it was actively growing. The greatest trefoil inhibition occurred with fescue plant extracts prepared during the autumn (September and October). The concentration of fescue extracts influenced trefoil germination, with greater inhibition as fescue concentration increased. In a sand medium under greenhouse conditions, fescue extracts prepared in spring and autumn reduced trefoil growth by 50 and 56%, respectively, with no inhibition during the summer months. Under field conditions, full strength fescue extracts reduced trefoil plant populations by 14 and 57% with spring and autumn prepared extracts, respectively. Fescue competition reduced sod-seeded trefoil plants per unit area by 17 and 31% for spring and autumn seeding, respectively. Full strength fescue extracts reduced trefoil seedling growth by an average of 37%, and trefoil dry matter yields by 53%.

    Notes: Silage making practices in respect of 130 samples of autumn made grass silages ensiled in bunkers on commercial farms in South Wales during 1983-1985 were analysed to discern the effect of wilting and/or silage additives on fermentation. Silages were primarily made during late September and early October in fine weather from perennial ryegrass pasture which had not been grazed for 6 weeks. On average 13.9 ha of pasture was cut for silage. Analysis of 120 samples of grass showed it contained 176 g kg−1 dry matter (DM) with (g kg−1 DM) 215 protein, 240 modified acid detergent fibre (MADF), 78 water-soluble carbohydrate (WSC) and 95 ash. Most farmers attempted to pre-wilt grass for 1 day prior to ensilage and one quarter of them made unwilted silage. Silage making was usually completed within 6 days of starting to cut and was generally made with a precision-chop machine. Silage additives applied were (kg t−1) formic acid (4·7), formic acid 4-formalin (5·5), sulphuric acid-+ formalin (5·0) sugars (14) and inoculants (0·65). Formic acid significantly reduced pH, and formic acid with or without formalin significantly reduced ammonia nitrogen (N) content of silages compared with other treatments. Protein contents of acid/formalin treated silages were significantly higher and MADF of acid with or without formalin treated silages were significantly lower than other treatments. Pre-wilting grass prior to ensilage did not significantly increase subsequent silage DM content and significantly increased the pH of non-additive treated silages. Unwilted silages treated with formic acid with or without formalin had a significantly lower ammonia-N content and higher residual WSC than other treatments.It is suggested that only formic acid application either alone or in conjunction with formalin to unwilted silage was successful in producing well preserved silages and that a grass WSC content of 17 g kg−1 would be necessary to achieve this.

    Notes: Development of simulation models of grazing beef cattle requires measurement of the components of the ingestive process and the establishment of relationships between these components and the structure of the sward. The ingestive behaviour of eight half-sib Angus steers (live weight (LW), x̄= 270 kg) grazing alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) was studied at three stages of maturity (26, 40 and 47 days of regrowth) and at four allowances of herbage dry matter (DM) (1·0, 1·5, 20 and 2·5 kg per 100 kg LW) at each of two daily grazing sessions. A tethering system of grazing was used in which the experimental unit was a tethered steer and its plot for one grazing session. Grazing sessions commenced at 08.00 and 14.00 h EDT. Intake (DM) increased linearly from 1·98 kg per steer session at a DM allowance of 1 kg (100 kg LW)−1 to 2 89 kg steer session at an allowance of 2·5 kg (100 kg LW) −1 as utilization of herbage declined linearly from 0·69 to 0·43. Herbage DM in take per bite increased from 1 0 g at 1 kg (100 kg LW) −1 allowance to 1·5 g at 2·5 kg (100 kg LW) −1 allowance. Rates of biting were not affected by herbage allowance and averaged 21 bites min−1. Dry matter intake increased from 1·77 to 3 41 kg per steer session as the alfalfa matured and herbage mass changed from 1500 to 4656 kg ha−1. Mean rates of biting were 24 bites min−1 for steers grazing the youngest alfalfa and 16 bites min−1 for steers on the oldest forage. Herbage DM intakes per bite were 1·1 g and 1·7 g at the same stages. Rates of DM intake approached 2 kg h−1 and maximum daily DM intake was estimated at 2 75 kg (100 kg LW) −1. Intake of alfalfa was limited by allowance and mass of herbage above a canopy horizon of 20 cm and, to a lesser extent, by the length of fast.

    Notes: The effect of adding ground oats and barley on the ensiling characteristics of autumn-and spring-harvested ryegrass was studied in laboratory scale silos.The addition of oats or barley at rates of 13 or 53 kg t−1 of grass significantly improved the fermentation of late autumn ryegrass silage in the first year. Ammonia N levels were reduced from over 20% of total N to 11% or less. Similar addition to autumn-cut ryegrass higher in soluble carbohydrate content in the second year also significantly reduced pH and ammonia levels but all silages were well fermented. Addition of cereals to spring-cut ryegrass containing over 20% soluble carbohydrate had no effect on fermentation. Cereal addition increased silage DM and decreased silage fibre content in all experiments.The results are discussed in relation to the potential advantage of cereal addition in the ensiling of grass crops.

    Notes: The decomposition of dead roots of perennial grasses was examined in nylon litter bags not containing soil at two soil depths, 10 and 20 cm, and also in larger nylon bags containing soil at 020 cm depth. Bags were sampled three times during the growing season to determine weights of organic matter, crude protein, Klason lignin and non-structural and structural carbohydrates.From 3 July to 5 October (94 days) the litter bags at 10 and 20 cm and the nylon bags lost, respectively, 35,38 and 65% of their organic mass of particle size 〈 1 mm.Non-structural carbohydrates constituted 6% of the organic matter in the original sample but only 1% or less during the sampling period. Klason lignin increased from 22 to 29% and crude protein from 8 to 10% of the remaining organic matter, whereas structural carbohydrates changed very little.The constituents were degraded at different rates. The non-structural carbohydrates had decomposed almost completely by the first sampling and of the other constituents the structural carbohydrates were degraded most rapidly. Before the first sampling unexpected amounts of structural carbohydrates, particularly glucans, had disappeared.The results help to explain rapid declines in root mass (up to 50%) during summer in perennial grass leys observed in earlier experiments.

    Notes: Herbage potassium levels were measured in 1986 in a permanent pasture under continuous grazing with cattle and receiving 200 kg N ha−1. In April, before grazing started, K concentration in the herbage was relatively uniform across the pasture, with a value of 1·9 ± 0·038% K in the herbage dry matter. In July, a significantly lower concentration of herbage K was found in the grazed areas of the pasture (1·8 ± 0·10%) compared with the level (2·4 ± 0·088%) found in the rejected areas of the sward. The difference between the grazed and rejected areas was similar in September, with 1·6 ± 0·087% and 2·2 ± 0·172% K, respectively, in the herbage dry matter. This result suggests that herbage growth in the grazed areas might have been limited by K supply and highlights the need for more information on the K requirements of grazed grassland.

    Notes: The relationship between the rate of canopy gross photosynthesis and LAI was investigated for ryegrass swards released from grazing after a period of continuous stocking to maintain the pasture at LAI 2–3. The regrowing swards were allowed to increase to about LAI 5 over a period of about 2 weeks while the rate of photosynthesis was measured and compared with that for continuously stocked swards maintained at LAI values between 2 and 6. Gross photosynthesis was found to increase more rapidly than LAI on the regrowing swards than on the steady-state control pastures. However, this response appeared to be influenced by seasonal factors. The potential increase in net COi uptake was estimated to range from 0 to 22%. The response was attributed to an increasing proportion of young photosynthetically-efficient leaves near the top of the canopy, modified by seasonal changes in the rate of tillering. The agronomic implications of the results are iscussed.

    Notes: Large between-year variation was observed in spring air and soil temperatures at Pant-y-dwr Hill Centre (305 m altitude) from 1967 to 1984 and at Bronydd Mawr Research Centre (330 m) from 1985 to 1986 in Powys. The mean date of attaining T-sum 200°C accumulated air temperature was 13 March (range 9 February to 23 April) and that of soil temperature at 100 mm depth permanently above 5 5°C was 9 April (range 7 March to 4 May). Net herbage accumulation and response to applied N from Aberystwyth S23 perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) swards during April were also highly variable and were correlated with the date of reaching target soil temperatures of above 5 5°C for 5 consecutive days (r=−0·68, P 〈 0·001 for net herbage accumulation and r=−0·70, P 〈 0·001 for response to N).The use of early flowering varieties of perennial ryegrass gave a significant increase of herbage growth in spring compared with late varieties. From 1979 to 1980 net herbage accumulation during April from the early variety Frances was 94% more than from Perma (late) and 55% more than from Talbot (intermediate) varieties. Under conservation management more winter hardy and persistent varieties of Italian and hybrid ryegrasses (L. multiflorum L. and L. multiflorum X L. perenne) gave higher quantities of firstcut silage crops in early June than RvP Italian ryegrass.After the severe winters of 1978–79 and 1985–86, subsequent spring production from a wide range of ryegrasses was shown to be affected by sward survival, highlighting the value of winter hardy varieties when resowing in the uplands

    Notes: A sample of 10000 ha of grassland in seven upland districts originally surveyed in 1970–72 was re-surveyed in 1986. Forty percent of the area was above 240 m elevation, 38% had gradients above 81/2°, 29% had poor or bad drainage and 54% was classified as having difficult or severe limitations to management. Twelve percent had been reseeded within the previous 5 years and 39% within 20 years; 6% was classified as arable grassland (in rotation with crops). Thirty-four percent was usually mown, two-thirds of it for silage. In most years 72% of grassland received fertilizer N (average application 123 kg N ha−1) and 35% received organic manure; nearly 20% received neither. Older swards tended to receive lower rates of fertilizer N than reseeds, hay fields and grazed fields less than silage fields, and fields on beef/sheep farms less than those on dairy farms. The proportion of sown species in swards averaged 35%, of which Lolium perenne accounted for 23%. A good contribution of Trifolium repens was recorded in 15% of the grassland. Herb species were recorded in 30% of the grassland, mostly in situations with low fertilizer N under hay or grazing. Agrostis spp., Poa spp., Holcus lanatus and Festuca rubra were the main unsown grasses. The average contribution of L. perenne had increased since 1970–72; it was also present in two-thirds of the area from which it was absent in 1970–72, whilst the contribution of T. repens had decreased. The incidence of Cirsium arvense and Ranunculus spp. had also decreased, whilst that of Pteridium aquilinum had increased.

    Notes: The leafage structure of ryegrass canopies and its role in canopy photosynthesis were compared under continuous and rotational grazing by sheep. Under continuous grazing, an increase in the intensity of grazing increased the proportion (by leaf area) of young leaves in the sward. A mechanistic mathematical model was used to demonstrate how this may have arisen, even though it would largely have been the young leaves that were eaten.However, the observations do not confirm the hypothesis that continuously grazed swards have a characteristically greater proportion of young leaves, and so a greater photosynthetic potential, than rotationally grazed ones. The proportion of young leaves increased during regrowth following severe rotational grazing (residual LAI 〈 05) and the photosynthetic potential of the canopy became greater than under continuous grazing.A model of canopy photosynthesis was used to demonstrate that the observed difference in the proportion of young leaves alone was unlikely to account for all the differences in canopy photosynthesis between managements, and further differences in canopy structure were evaluated. Despite the delay in the restoration of leaf area following severe grazing in a rotation, the total photosynthetic uptake of a system involving some 12–13 days regrowth and 3 days grazing exceeded that of a well-utilized continuously grazed sward. Re growths of longer duration led to progressively greater total photosynthetic uptake, though this was not considered synonymous with greater yield.

    Notes: A previously described model of grass growth was used to analyse the effect of the severity of defoliation and the duration of the subsequent regrowth on the overall balance between photosynthesis, gross tissue production and leaf death and so on the amount that could be harvested/consumed per hectare under intermittent defoliation. Maximum yield per hectare was shown to be achieved whenever the fluctuations in LAI during regrowth and defoliation led lo the same low average LAI that was previously shown to give maximum yield (amount harvested/consumed per hectare) under continuous grazing. Thus, it is suggested that production under both continuous and intermittent defoliation may best be characterized, and diverse managements may be rationalized, on the basis of the average sward state, the average achieved. The analysis leads us to reconsider some widely held concepts of the growth and utilization of grass applied in both agronomic and ecological theory, and the provision of practical guidelines for management.
