| Abstract: | Summary Considerable heterosis has been demonstrated in inter-cultivar swede hybrids. Increases in dry matter yield of between 5.9 and 25.6% over the superior parent were obtained. Difficulties and possibilities with regard to the commercial exploitation of this phenomenon in swedes are discussed. |
