Lolium perenne L. - Perennial Ryegrass - Deutsches Weidelgras - Ray-grass anglais - Raigrás inglés<br />
Perennial ryegrass is the fastest establishing specie ofall the turf grasses. It prefers milder climates but tolerates temperatures down to minus 16-18 °C without a snow<br />
cover. With a snow cover, ryegrass can tolerate even lower temperatures. In temperate regions, perennial ryegrass is a true perennial with a high persistence. It can<br />
be used on most soil types, with the exception of very wet land. Perennial ryegrass exists in early, intermediate and late types in respect of heading and spring growth.<br />
Late heading types tend to be better under lower input utilisation due to less stem formation in mid summer. With one exception, all turf types are diploid, but <strong>DLF</strong>-<br />
<strong>TRIFOLIUM</strong> have one tetraploid variety with improved tolerance to stress factors like drought and diseases. A species trait of Perennial ryegrass is very high wear tolerance<br />
due to fast re-growth of tillers and leaves. This makes the specie an essential ingredient in mixtures for sports use.<br />
