This experiment was conducted to find out the response of orchardgrass (Dactylis glomrrata L.) varieties to grazing at the condition of monocultures and mixed pastures on the field of Livestock Experiment Station at Suwon from Sep. 1989 to Oct. 1991. The varieties of orchardgrass used in this experiment were Potomac, Hallmark and Syn. No. 2 as a early maturing type, and Lidacta, Rancho and Syn. No. 10 as a late maturing type. The results obtained were as follows: I. Heading date of early maturing varieties among orchardgrass like as Potomac, Hallmark and Syn. 2 ranged from May 9 to May 14. Otherwise those of late varieties(Lidacta Rancho and Syn. 10) were between May 21 to May 25. Leaf types of early varieties were shown erect, those of late varieties were erect or semi-erect. 2. In dry matter production per ha, mixture with Rancho variety(T5) was the highest as 7.818 kg and mixture with Hallmark(T2) was the lowest as 7,013 kg. But there was not significantly different(P>0.05) among mixtures. While in monocultures, Syn. 10 variety was the highest(6.626 kglha) and Lidacta was Iowest(5,775 kg). But no difference was found(P>0.05). 3. In mean grass height after grazing, mixtures with early maturing types were higher as 9.8 cm than that of late (8.8cm), and early types were higher as 10.5cm than that of late(9.4cm) in monocultures. But there was no significant difference both mixtures and monocultures.
