Abstract

In recent years the supply of seed of local types of fine turf grasses has decreased. This has resulted in the need for the importation of overseas cultivars of browntop, creeping bent grass and red fescue. These have generally proved to be very effective in producing high-quality turf. The coarser types of turf used in sportsfields for football and cricket are ideally ryegrass-dominant. Fine-leaved perennial ryegrasses have been developed overseas. and experimental plantings of these in New Zealand look very promising. Keywords: Amenity grass, New Zealand, Agrostis tenuis Lolium perenne, Agrostis palustris, Festuca rubra.
