A series of experiments was laid down in 1957 on different upland vegetation types in Scotland to provide a basis of critical information on the performance of 18 herbage varieties. The present paper deals with results on areas dominated originally by Molinia and Nardus at Sourhope farm, Roxburghshire. Data obtained between 1957 and 1954 are discussal in relation to sward development, competition with remnants of native herbage and seasonal productivity.
