Annual RyegrassesAnnual adj - A Plant that completes its life cycle in one year
Annual ryegrasses are a fast establishing, winter active ryegrass. They are most commonly sown as a high quality, short-term winter crop, to provide multiple grazings in winter and spring. Annual ryegrass has little persistence, and is generally used for a 6 - 8 month winter crop prior to sowing a summer crop. Including annual ryegrass in a permanent pasture seed mix is not generally recommended. Annual ryegrasses tend to die out, allowing weeds to take over. They also establish rapidly and compete strongly with perennial species.
