Hay yield and leafiness components of spaced plants were evaluated for six cultivars of smooth bromegrass. All morphological traits showed significant correlations with hay yield. However path analysis showed that hay yield was a direct function of tillers/plant and plant height. Plant height was also negatively associated with leafiness. It was concluded that selection based on tillersip/ant may improve hay yield without adverse affect on leafiness. It appeared that plant height was one of the most distinguishing characters of smooth bromegrass cultivars.
