10 Weather conditions for production of grass for seed in Denmark, Generally autumn was warm and sunny with less than normal precipitation and grasses continued growing longer than normal. Compared to normal, winter was rather warm with average temperatures above 0 ºC. Generally spring was favourable for grass for seed production but it was very dry and at the end of spring the crops was beginning to be short of water. In June the dry weather continued, however the trial site was blessed with a little rain so generally there were fine conditions for flowering. From start of July there were some rainy days which resulted in more difficult harvest than normal. All together, conditions at the trial site were favourable for grass for seed production except for lack of rain in late spring. Festuca rubra (Rødsvingel) Differences between varieties in yield were from (average) kg/ha, with Barpalace as lowest yielding and Barustic as highest yielding. Barustic and Barprince had significantly higher yields than other varieties while Barpalace resulted in significant lower yield than all other varieties. Between the last three Bargreen II yielded statistically significant more than Viktorka and Sandrine. Festuca arundinacea (Strandsvingel) Differences between varieties in yield were from (average) kg/ha, with Palladio as lowest yielding and Barelite as highest yielding. Barelite yielded significantly more than the other tested varieties. Barselect yielded second best, but could not be separated statistically from Bardavinci and Barlexas II. However Barselect had significant higher yield compared to Palladio. Lolium perenne (Rajgræs) Differences between varieties in yield were from (average) kg/ha, with Barlady as lowest yielding and Barsintra as highest yielding. Barsintra yielded significantly more compared to all other varieties while Barlady resulted in the significantly lowest yield compared to all tested varieties. Dunluce, Barata and Barage could not be separated statistically but resulted in significant higher yield than Mara, LP08C, Barmoric and Lewis. Gefion - Agronova Field Trials 10
