Abstract

This study examines major quantitative traits in three experimental genotypes of cocksfoot (Dactylis glomerata L) as compared to the cultivar BL-Krajina (standard). The research was conducted at the trial field of the Faculty of Agriculture of Republic of Srpska, Banjaluka, in 2005-2007. The three-year investigations revealed significant differences between the cocksfoot genotypes in both yield and quality of biomass and seed yield. The highest average dry matter (DM) yield over the three-year period was produced by the R17-45/6 genotype (12.9 tha-1 DM), the yield being 2.14 tha-1 DM higher than that of cv. BL-Krajina (10.78 tha-1 DM). As regards seed yield, cocksfoot genotypes gave high average yields, the differences as compared to standard BL-Krajina being highly significant. The genotype R17-45//6 produced the highest average seed yield over the three-year period (535.7 kgha-1).
