Established Ruanui ryegrass pasture on Ruapuna and Lismore soils in Canterbury was overdrilled with Ariki or Tama ryegrasses. Other treatments investigated were paraquat spray before overdrilling and application of nitrogen after overdrilling. The Lismore soil was flood irrigated in spring and autumn, but not in summer.
