Abstract

This study was undertaken mainly to attempt to understand why Italian type plants of Lolium multiflorum Lam. (Italian ryegrass) fail to become vernalised in certain climatic regions of South Africa. The vernalisation requirements of seed and plants for the induction of flowering and seed production were determined.

Keywords: botany; flowering; induction; Italian ryegrass; Lolium multiflorum; seed production; vernalization requirements
