Lolium perenne, common name perennial ryegrass, [1] English ryegrass, winter ryegrass, or ray grass, is a grass from the family Poaceae. It is native to Europe, Asia and northern Africa, but is widely cultivated and naturalised around the world.
Lolium multiflorum (Italian rye-grass, [2] annual ryegrass) is a ryegrass native to temperate Europe, though its precise native range is unknown. [3] It is a herbaceous annual, biennial, or perennial grass that is grown for silage, and as a cover crop. [4] [5] It is also grown as an ornamental grass.
Leymus chinensis shows 47% germination under variable temperatures ranging from 10 to 30 °C. De-husking (removing outer-covering of seeds) at constant temperature was shown to also improve germination. [3] The effects of light have had an interesting effect on the germination of Leymus chinensis. The plants were assessed according to three ...
There is a large range of cultivars. The primary species found worldwide and used both for lawns and as a forage crop is perennial ryegrass ( Lolium perenne ). Like many cool-season grasses of the Poaceae, it harbors a symbiotic fungal endophyte , either Epichloë or its close relative Neotyphodium , both of which are members of the fungal ...
Growing degrees (GDs) is defined as the number of temperature degrees above a certain threshold base temperature, which varies among crop species. The base temperature is that temperature below which plant growth is zero. GDs are calculated each day as maximum temperature plus the minimum temperature divided by 2, minus the base temperature.
Bouteloua dactyloides is a perennial plant that spreads by stolons (runners). [3] A plant may extend stolons outward to reach a length of 15 to 45 centimetres (6 to 18 in) by the end of a growing season. [4] In ideal experimental conditions stolons may grow as much as 5.71 centimetres (2.25 in) per day. [5]
Seeds often have a temperature range within which they will germinate, and they will not do so above or below this range. Many seeds germinate at temperatures slightly above 60-75 F (16–24 C) [room-temperature in centrally heated houses], while others germinate just above freezing and others germinate only in response to alternations in ...
Cyperus rotundus is a perennial plant, that may reach a height of up to 140 cm (55 in).The names "nut grass" and "nut sedge" – shared with the related species Cyperus esculentus – are derived from its tubers, that somewhat resemble nuts, although botanically they have nothing to do with nuts.
