cocksfoot

The following report is a brutally honest description of the trials and tribulations of his attempts to replace his old grassland mixture, based on perennial ryegrass, by a new one, based on cocksfoot and tall fescue.

"Because we've made this DNA barcode library of all of the plants in the UK, we're working on a big joint project to collect pollen from the air, DNAbarcode that and say 'well, what grasses are present and does that link to hospital admissions for asthma?' "In the short term, it would just mean that people could avoid those situations, so it would mean they could say 'the cocksfoot grass, dactylis glomerata, is in flower now, I'm not going to go on a camping trip'.

Among the best are some of the bents (agrostis), cocksfoot, false brome, fescues and meadow grasses.

In contrast, when lysimeters were resown with cocksfoot pastures (a plant showing deeper rooting capacity; Caradus and Evans 1977) no net C loss at depth was detected, probably because the short-term loss was compensated for with new C from deeply growing roots.
