Abstract

A PRELIMINARY investigation of the effect of the nitrogen supply on the growth of Agropyron repens L. Beauv. showed that reducing the nitrogen level caused an increase in the number of rhizomes produced. This increase in rhizome production was associated with a marked suppression of tillering and seemed to have resulted from a tendency for buds to develop as rhizomes rather than as tillers at the lower nitrogen-levels. A further experiment was therefore designed to investigate this effect more critically.
