Abstract

The article reports on the 2012 National Institute of Agricultural Botany (NIAB) Descriptive List that was launched during the Dairy Event and Livestock Show in Great Britain in early September 2011. It cites the removal of the traditional maturity selection system on the list. According to NIAB's Don Pendergrast, the improved drying down rate of modern maize varieties resulted in the removal of the selection system.
