The use of the correct variety has an important influence on the economic use of sown grassland. The production of seed must be done in such a way that the essential characters of varieties are preserved. The O.E.C.D. Herbage Seed Scheme provides a sound basis for seed production, and has made possible the wider exploitation of good seed growing areas. The technical basis for some of the rules is discussed. It is concluded that in the 8 years in which the Scheme has been operating there has been a significant change in the pattern of seed use with a greater emphasis on the better varieties.
