Italian Ryegrasses

Italian adj - Of Italy

Italian ryegrasses are annuals, with erect growth form, large leaves and few tillers, that are sown in autumn to produce high quality, cool season feed. They may be direct drilled, or sown into high fertility, cultivated seedbeds, at 20 - 25 Kg / Ha for diploids and up to 30 Kg / Ha for the larger seed tetraploids. Some of these may persist for two to three years under ideal conditions. The ‘Westerwold’ types are true annuals that do not persist for more than a year without reseeding. Italian ryegrasses are susceptible to grass grub, porina and Argentine Stem Weevil, so delaying sowing until after Argentine Stem Weevil egg laying is recommended.
