The plant form is usually erect but may be prostrate. The stems are often geniculate (with a knee-like bend) and are purplish at the base. The leaves are 5 to 25 cm (2 to 10 in) long, and 3 to 5 mm (0.12 to 0.20 in) wide; the upper surface is glossy dark green, flat and hairless with longitudinal veins, and the underside is shiny and smooth.
Perennial ryegrass is an important pasture and forage plant, and is used in many pasture seed mixes. In fertile soil, it produces a high grass yield, and in Britain and Ireland, it is frequently sown for short-term ley grassland, often with red or white clover (Trifolium pratense or T. repens).
In this way both perennial ryegrass and white clover thrive and the cows achieve the maximum pasture intake. Pasture management has a demand (cow intake X pasture area) and a supply (available pasture) component. In 2005 Adrian Van Bysterveldt made a mathematical assessment of the required pasture demand for the pasture wedge graph. [16]
a single community covering a variety of widespread types of Perennial Rye-grass long-term ley; three widespread communities associated with poorly drained permanent pastures (MG8, MG9, MG10) three grass-dominated inundation communities, one of which, MG13, is widespread, the other two, MG11 and MG12, more localised
Rye (Secale cereale) is a grass grown extensively as a grain, a cover crop and a forage crop. It is grown principally in an area from Eastern and Northern Europe into Russia. It is much more tolerant of cold weather and poor soil than other cereals, making it useful in those regions; its vigorous growth suppresses weeds and provides abundant forage for animals early in the yea
The Pooideae are the largest subfamily of the grass family Poaceae, with about 4,000 species in 15 tribes and roughly 200 genera. They include some major cereals such as wheat, barley, oat, rye and many lawn and pasture grasses. They are often referred to as cool-season grasses, because they are distributed in temperate climates. [1]
A grassfire burning in Rye forced evacuations of some schools today. The fire is burning just over 30 minutes South of Pueblo. You can see how close it is to Rye High School. The Elementary School ...
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.
