Abstract
A study was made of phenotypic correlations between seed yield and some other traits of determinable value in two bred varieties of meadow fescue. Seed yield and such characters as time of flowering, plant height and dry-matter production of spaced plants in October and at the time of anthesis were found to be closely associated.The method of path coefficient analysis was used to study the interrelationships of seed yield and its components in the causal system: fertile tiller and floret numbers, percentage fertility and thousandseed weight. This analysis corroborates the result of simple correlations in showing the importance of fertile tiller numbers and fertility as major determinants of seed yield.
