Connolly, V., Breeding Improved Varieties of Perennial Ryegrass, End of Project Reports, Teagasc, 2001.
Abstract
The background, methodology and objectives of the current ryegrass breeding
programme are outlined.
Six varieties have been released and are currently on Recommended Lists in
Ireland and elsewhere. The varieties have shown improvement in yield and yield
distribution: these traits are important in the context of improving the productive
potential of Irish grasslands.
In parallel with the breeding programme, research on projects which is related to
future selection strategy was undertaken. The results of this research on hybrid
breeding system and quality objectives are summarised.
