Abstract

The reason for having a Plant Selectors' Rights scheme and some attendant disadvantages are discussed. The development of Rights both internationally and in New Zealand is outlined. Of the 136 applications for New Zealand Rights received to date only one has been for a herbage cultivar. The advent of Rights has not always been welcomed by farmers. It is argued that a Recommended List would complement the Rights scheme. Reference is made to future expansion of Rights in New Zealand. Key words: Plant Selectors' Rights, herbage seed production, New Zealand.
