Abstract

Over 60% of the herbage seed produced in New Zealand is exported but because plant breeders have concentrated on the local market New Zealand seed has lost its pre-eminence in the United Kingdom. The introduction of Plant Selectors' Rights will encourage the New Zealand seed industry to meet market requirements. There is little future in multiplying overseas-owned cultivars in New Zealand. A progressive seed industry requires greater cooperation between breeders, farmers and merchants. Key words: Plant Selectors' Rights, herbage seed production, New Zealand.
