Description
The seed shedding susceptibility is specific biological feature of grasses (Hampton and Fairey, 1997; Simon et al., 1997), which occurs particularly in the species of Lolium-Festuca complex. Lolium multiflorum is a grass distinguished by highest susceptibility of seed shedding (Golińska, 2009). It is the main reason of up to 60% of seed yield losses during harvest of seed plantations of this grass (Coolbear et al., 1997). In order to prevent seed losses by shedding the investigations are necessary to improve the efficiency of grass seed production. One of the possibilities is using of preparations which physically or physiologically control the ripening process of plant and decrease the seed shedding susceptibility. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of different preparations controlling the plant ripening process on seed shedding and yielding of Lolium multiflorum.
