Abstract/Contents:"A new concept in the control of graminaceous weeds in anemity turf was introduced with the breeding of aminotriazole resistant varieties 'Countess', Chewings fescue (Festuca rubra ssp. commutata) and 'Duchess', browntop bent (Agrostis tenuis). The purpose of this programme was to create superior turf varieties in which a wide range of weeds, including invasive grasses, could be controlled by a single herbicide at any stage in the development of the grass sward. In practice it has been found that herbicide tolerance is an advantage, not only in the production of weed free turf, but also in the maintenance of pure swards for seed production. In recent years at Loughgall a considerable amount of effort has been put into the breeding of amenity grasses with tolerance to the herbicide glyphosate. Statistically significant increases in the level of tolerance have been achieved in red fescue (Festuca rubra) and perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) whereas progress in bentgrasses (Agrostis spp.) has been slower. Several glyphosate tolerant grass varieties are now at an advanced stage of testing.
