Abstract
Ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) and tall Fescue (Festuca arundinacea Scherb.) are two of the most important grasses cultivated in the world as forage and turf. For example, around 160 000 tonnes of grain seed (forage and turf) are marketed every year in western Europe. This total includes 75 0001 of perennial ryegrass, and 30 000 t of tall fescue.
