Four-hundred and fifteen ryegrass [Lolium perenne, L. multiflorum, L. .times. hybridum] genotypes, collected from pastures on soils of different exchangeable Mg concentration, together with 160 genotypes from 8 commercial cultivars were examined for variation in herbage Mg concentration. There was no evidence for ecotypic or cultivar differences in Mg concentration, but there was substantial variation within all populations. Mg concentrations up to 0.552% of DM [dry matter] were found. When a high Mg selection of perennial ryegrass was tested further, indications of genetic control of herbage Mg concentrations were obtained. Within this selection there were positive correlations between concentrations of Mg and K, Ca, Fe, Cu, Mn and Zn, but a significant negative correlation with Na. There is scope for selection of high-Mg ryegrass, but Na content would have to be monitored.
