Grass production was measured at 24 sites in the Strathdon area of West Aberdeenshire. The mean total yields of DM from two cuts taken from unfertilized plots in 1967 and from three cuts taken in 1968 were 3014 and 3864 kgJha, respectively. Yields from soils formed on basic parent material were 30–40% more than yields from soils formed on more acidic material; and well-managed swards yielded over 40% more than poorly-managed ones. Aspect did not affect yields significantly, nor did elevation within the range 260–440 m.NItrochalk applied at the rate of 75 kg N/ha in 1968 increased the DM yield by an average of 35% but the efifect of 75 kg P2O5/ha, applied as triple superphosphate, was not significant at the 10% level. The benefits from N declined, wbereas those from P tended to increase, with elevation. There was no significant NP interaction overall, but tbe response from this treatment was better than from N alone on sites with acidic parent material.In 1968, 46% of the total yield was obtained by the end of June and only 10% after the end of August. Whereas yield declined with elevation in May–June, it increased during July–August
