The multiplic,ation of Nucleus Seed to produce Breeders' Seed of any of the Grasslands Division cultivars not covered by Head Licensees is handled by the Grasslands Division Seed Production Specialist.

As an example, 'Grasslands Ruanui' perennial ryegrass is grown at Waitohi in South Canterbury. This helps eliminate chance of crosspollination, provides better isolation, and reduces the likelihood of disagreements between
