where this is mentioned in the description.
The inflorescence of Dactylis glomerata is structurally classified as a dense, one-sided panicle, often triangular in outline. In breeding practice, this morphological trait is assessed by length, which is measured in centimeters on generative shoots to determine seed productivity potential.
The inflorescence length of the crop ranges from 3 to 20 cm. In selective breeding, values exceeding the inflorescence length of control varieties are considered an advantage; specifically, samples with a panicle length in the range of 16.9–18.7 cm demonstrate high seed formation productivity.
