Calder (i), Jenkin (3), and Stapledon (6), have resorted to increases planted in replicated tiller rows as an aid in evaluating individual plants. In addition, Jenkin (3) and Stapledon (6) used tiller beds in which the clonal pieces were "broadcast" in the evaluation of plants of Lolium perenne L., Dactylis glomerata L., and other grasses. Stapledon (6) stated that these plantings (tiller rows and tiller beds) were subjected to a system of pasture cuts or to system of hay and aftermath. Calder (i) grazed the clonal rows with sheep, while Jenkin (3) neither clipped nor grazed the tiller rows in his experiments. The tiller bed method reported by Jenkin (3) and Stapledon (5) was modified for the present study by the use of a legume (white clover) mixture. The main objective was to determine agronomic variation of the grass clones under the conditions of the experiment.
