Plots of perennial ryegrass were cut in September, October, November and December 1975, and soil surface temperature, leof extension rates, appearance rates and lengths were measured between September 1975 and April 1976. Cutting on progressively later dates in the autumn reduced leof extension rates and leof lengths throughout the following winter and spring, whereas leof appearance rates were reduced for only about 1 month ofter cutting.
