in ambiente mediterraneo / Bullitta, Pietro; Milia, Marco Antonio Fedele; Caredda, Salvatore; Spanu, Antonino. - In: STUDI SASSARESI. SEZIONE 3: ANNALI DELLA FACOLTÀ DI AGRARIA DELL'UNIVERSITÀ DI SASSARI. - ISSN 0562-2662. - 29:(1982), pp. 73-88.
abstract:
Over the four years from 1973 to 1977 the productive capacity of 20 grasses was tested on calcareous
soils of northern Sardinia.
The tall fescue «Maris Djebel» and «Manade» were the most productive achiving 46 and 44 t/ha of DM over
the quadriennium, about half of which in autunn-winter period. The cocks-foot «Floreal» achieved good results
especially with regard to the best hay production.
The perennial ryegrass and Toowoomba canarygrass which had been decimated at the beginning of the
third year showed poor adaptability. The Swiss ryegrass « Manava» gave good results in the first biennium
(24 t/ha of DM) but later the yield was reduced because of difficulty in self-seeding.
