Description
Reproductive development of temperate grass species generally proceeds by exposure to low temperature and short daylength and then to moderate temperature and long daylength. However, differentiation and development of inflorescences can be observed even under short day conditions in spring habit types of temperate grasses and grain crops such as ryegrass, wheat, barley and oats. Similar variations called ever-flowering habit were found in orchardgrass. The purpose of this study was to select the materials for everflowering habit, to observe their productive behavior under some temperature and photoperiod conditions and to improve seasonal production by using selected materials in orchardgrass.
