Yield variation, yield components and yield losses in rainfed tall fescue and annual ryegrass seed production in subtropical Uruguay. [abstract].

ABSTRACT.- Rainfed field seed yields for tall fescue and annual ryegrass in Uruguay are estimated to be close to 0.33 and 0.98 tt seed/ha, respectively. These values are far lower than those reported for other regions worldwide, what might reflect the subtropical climate, less adjusted crop management or greater losses during harvest.
