D resistance is important in hay and pasture grasses and legumes during all stages of growth. In the seedling stage resistance to drought may be of great importance in maintaining a stand after emergence. In many cases successful seedling stands of forages from early spring seeding have been killed in recent years in the early or late summer by severe hot and dry weather, l~esistance to drought in later stages of growth may aid materially in maintaining established stands. The studies reported here are a comparison of resistance under artificial trials in both the seedling and sod stages with behavior under field conditions.
