The effect of altering autumn grazing management on sward structural characteristics, morphology and nutritive value
… has the potential to impact various factors of sward production, morphology and physiology. The current thesis evaluated how management practices in autumn and spring affect the perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne, L; PRG) plant. This research is important to identify areas where management can …

Differential dry matter production, nutritive value and grazing utilisation of perennial ryegrass varieties and mixtures evaluated within intensive grazing regimes
… nutritive value (digestibility) and a favourable sward structure of tetraploids. The economic value for increased grazing efficiency was determined based on the additional herbage dry matter that a variety with superior grazing efficiency could utilise. This resulted in a €44 difference between …

Factors controlling the establishment of species-rich grasslands in urban landscaping schemes
… other than simply cutting the existing grass sward, favoured a more successful introduction of species from the donor meadow. However, it became clear that high levels of soil cultivation encouraged undesirable weeds and may not be necessary. Big baling proved to be an efficient method of …

Evaluation of perennial ryegrass cultivars for dairy production under different pasture management
… White clover proportions in perennial ryegrass swards (4 cm above ground level) increased during pasture regrowth from 6.5% on day 7 to 13.8% on day 28. The presence of white clover led to a greater overall herbage CP concentration (260 vs. 286 g/kg DM) and a lower NDF concentration (421 vs. 397 …
