Abstract
A number of Cynodon lines were evaluated at two centres in the Natal Tall Grassveld. On a red clay soil in a relatively moist area good performance was recorded from several star grasses (Cynodon aethiopicus and C. nlemfuensis) and Cynodon hybrids, but herbage production was less satisfactory on a grey‐brown loamy soil at a drier site. Local C. dactylon strains did not compare well with the introduced Cynodon spp. Quality of the Cynodon herbage was good, and no problems were encountered with prussic acid poisoning,
Uittreksel
‘n Aantal Cynodan‐lyne is op twee verskillende plekke in die Natalse Langgrasveld ge‐evalueer. Verskeie stêr‐grasse o.a. Cynodon aethiopicus en C. nlemfuensis) en Cynodon‐basters het op diep rooi klein‐grond in ‘n betreklike klam gebied goed presteer, maar opbrengste was minder bevredigend op n grys‐bruin leemgrond in ‘n droër omgewing. Plaaslike Cynodon‐lyne het nie goed presteer in vergeiyking met under introduksies nie. Die kwaliteit van die Cynodon plantmateriaal was goed en geen probleme is met blousuurvergiftiging ondervind nie.
