Abstract

Investigations were performed in the years 2004–2006 on thirty tree perennial ryegrass cultivars included into the “EUCARPIA multisite rust evaluation” (19 diploid and 14 tetraploid). Morphological and physiological character connected with agronomic value of the cultivars, with special emphasis on crown rust, stem rust and snow mould resistance, were described. It was possible to observe differences in the stem rust and crown rust resistance scored before 2nd cut, crown rust resistance before 3rd cut in 2004, snow mould resistance in 2005 and 2006 and in the morphology and physiology during fall and early spring (plant performance before winter, performance after winter and ability to rapid regrowth after winter). Additionally, in the vegetative stage, leaf width, plant height and estimated green mass production were described. In the generative stage differences were observed in the time of maturity, morphology of spike and flag leaf and in plant height. Using the factor analysis method, it was possible to divide 25 variables, which showed significant differences between the tested cultivars, into 8 principal components and to determine relationships between them. The obtained results showed negative influence of the stem rust and crown rust on estimated green mass production in the 2 and the 3 cut. It was possible to find positive correlations between fall performance of tested plants, their snow mould resistance, regeneration after winter and significant influence of those characters on the agronomic value of the tested cultivars in the generative stage. Snow mould resistance, regeneration after winter and agronomic value in the generative stage of the diploid cultivars was lower than in the group of tetraploid cultivars. Three tetraploid cultivars are especially promising Lacerta, Aubisque and Pastoral, which showed high agronomic value in field-cutting and seed production management.
