Description
Seed companies find having their own annual ryegrass breeding program in the southeastern USA, unprofitable. The annual ryegrass breeding program at the University of Florida provides new annual ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) cultivars with disease resistance and adaption. The evolutionary recurrent selection breeding uses large nurseries, roguing of diseased and unthrifty plants and selection of best plants to provide seed for the next generation. Current commercial cultivars developed are named along with some of their characteristics.
