Summary

A factor of utmost importance to the breeder of grasses and clovers is the clear formulation of the problem, which types should be selected. This is closely correlated with the way the grassland is managed. A comparison of the methods of management used in Denmark, England, New Zealand and the Netherlands has been made. At the same time an account is given of the types of grasses and clovers that resulted from the application of these methods.

It is probable that in the near future the importance of perennial ryegrass in the Netherlands will still increase. In the connection 7 characters of importance in breeding work with this species are given, as well as the consequences of the systems of management for some other grasses and white clover.

Finally a close cooperation has been suggested between all those interested in improving the yield of grassland.
