Abstract Grasslands Excel' cocksfoot (Dactylis
glomerata L.) was selected from a natural population collected in Spain. It
is very similar to the current cultivar `Grasslands Wana' collected from the
same region, but is three weeks later to head and has a much lower 1000-seed
weight. It is similarly suitable for sites that are dry and severely grazed,
but the delayed heading could offer higher nutritional value when other
cultivars are heading.
Keywords Dactylis glomerata; `Grasslands Excel'
