4 Apr 2011 Key words: Italian ryegrass, Kowinearly, cold tolerance, new variety, forage crop. INTRODUCTION. Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) Two ryegrass species are of great importance in forage/livestock production; annual ryegrass. (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) and perennial ryegrass (Lolium 3 May 2016 Whereas perennial ryegrass accounted for approximately 40 per cent of turfgrasses compared with around 60 per cent of forage grasses 20 21 Mar 2016 Big yielding species. Westerwold is an annual ryegrass, which is fast to establish, producing forage within eight to ten weeks of seeding. It is the 27 Jan 2020 Producers want to know what annual ryegrass varieties to seed as monocrop or in cocktail mixtures for greenfeed or silage and which varieties
Italian Ryegrass. Italian ryegrass 4n. Italian ryegrass is one of the fastest growing grasses available to farmers. Top Yield and High Resistance to Diseases.
Italian ryegrass will grow through the winter, but frost tolerance is improved if surplus growth is removed in the autumn. Yield. Yields can be as high as 18t DM/ha. Sowing Rate Advice. 14kg per acre / 35kg per ha. The plants have an upright growth habit, with less tillers than other species, using a robust sowing rate is needed to create a dense crop. It’s lower cost and ease of seeding make Italian ryegrass an excellent choice as a nurse crop for other species or a great short term forage. Establishment. Italian ryegrass can be sown by itself or sown in mixtures, serving as a nurse crop for slower establishing species. Planting depth should be 0.25 to 0.50 inches. Researchers in Wisconsin have demonstrated that under ideal management and conditions, Italian ryegrass can yield as much as 9 tons of high-quality forage dry matter per year. Potato farmers in Northern Maine are increasingly using true Italian ryegrass (no seedheads in the first year) in their potato-barley rotations. If you have a lot of nutrients on the farm, Italian ryegrass can be a good choice to utilize and recycle those nutrients. It can be easily used to extend thinning alfalfa or mixed stands for one more year. This will result in high yields of excellent quality forage without the hassle of a total stand renovation. In a USDA-ARS Pasture Research Laboratory study in Pennsylvania, alfalfa yield was not effected by ryegrass seeding rate (6 to 18 lb per acre) in late-summer seedings of alfalfa-ryegrass mixtures. In the same study, alfalfa became the dominant species within one year, even when seeding rates heavily favored ryegrass establishment. Italian ryegrass is a winter annual plant that requires vernalization (a period of cold and reduced day length) to initiate heading. When sown in spring, very few seedheads will be observed throughout the seeding year. If fall sown, the plants will head profusely the following spring. Italian ryegrass is extremely high yielding and is typically the highest quality grass we know of. It’s
Italian ryegrass varieties have been evaluated in University of Wisconsin yield trails for many years. Seeding year yields with differing ryegrass varieties had a
27 Jun 2014 With good management, spring seeded Italian ryegrass can often yield 2.5 – 3.5 tonnes/acre of dry matter over 3 cuts. When late-summer seeded, Yields can be as high as 18t DM/ha. Sowing Rate Advice. 14kg per acre / 35kg per ha. The plants have an upright growth habit, with less tillers than other species, Italian ryegrass varieties have been evaluated in University of Wisconsin yield trails for many years. Seeding year yields with differing ryegrass varieties had a 6 Mar 2015 yield) from annual ryegrass in drilled monocultures (without clovers) is maximised when rates of approximately. 40 kgSeed/Ha are sown.
Choosing Knight Italian ryegrass over Tetila annual ryegrass under the same system in year one, you can grow an extra 5,971kgDM/ha, increasing profitability by $1,493/ha with an increase in seed investment of only $95/ha; In these trials the first autumn/winter yield difference between Tetila and Mach 1 ® is negligible. Even in short to medium
like endophytic fungus and bacterial wilt disease. (Xanthomonas campestris pv. graminis). The Italian ryegrass cultivars Moata and Concord had total yields 33% Challenge: Split your nearby corn silage field and plant Italian Ryegrass – Green Spirit (by Barenbrug). Producers can seed this grass at less than half the cost of 1 Apr 2004 forage yields, long season production, rapid germination and adaptation to many climatic conditions. Perennial ryegrass is a bunchgrass and The effect of fungicides on seed yield and disease control in Italian ryegrass. is much lower in seed crops of Italian ryegrass than crops of perennial ryegrass,
11 May 2017 Abstract A yield prediction model for Italian ryegrass (IRG) was constructed based on climatic data by locations in South Korea using a general
Yields and quality of Italian and Westerwolds ryegrasses, red clover, alfalfa, birdsfoot trefoil and Persian clover grown in monocultures and ryegrass legume forage, but had inconsistent or no effect on improving N uptake from fertilizer and soil. Perennial ryegrass cultivars were more efficient than Italian ryegrass in The scientific name for annual or Italian ryegrass is Lolium multiflorum 'Astor' was selected for high forage yield and quality in coastal areas of Oregon and 2000-2001 dry matter yields for annual ryegrass variety trial located at the Southern Piedmont Center, Blackstone, VA. Variety, Company, Dry Matter Yield. 4/18/01 4 Apr 2011 Key words: Italian ryegrass, Kowinearly, cold tolerance, new variety, forage crop. INTRODUCTION. Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.)

Yields of Italian ryegrass are quite variable, and are very influenced by seeding dates, rainfall, temperature and fertility (especially N). With good management, spring seeded Italian ryegrass can often yield 2.5 – 3.5 tonnes/acre of dry matter over 3 cuts. Meroa is a late-maturing, high-yielding true tetraploid Italian ryegrass. It has excellent forage quality, high yields and good winter hardiness. $1.75 /lb. Italian Ryegrass is a cool-season grass that is bi-annual in nature but is treated as an annual forage in northern climates. It is commonly used for hay, silage, or grazing due to its exceptional forage quality and high season-long yield potential. yield by 41% compared with the Italian ryegrass monocultures (13.79 vs. 9.75 t DM/ha), and provided effective weed suppression (<5% of total annual yield) and high quality forage (17.5% crude protein, 11.3 MJ/
