8 C L O V E R A N D F O R A G E G R A S S Lolium multiflorum L. - Italian Ryegrass - Welsches Weidelgras - Ray-grass d’Italie - Raigrás Italiano Italian ryegrass is one of the fastest growing grasses available to farmers. It establishes well and starts growing early in the following spring. It has a rapid regrowth after cutting and the quality of the grass is very high in respect of digestibility. It thrives on all kind of soils and is mainly used for conservation in short duration leys, often in mixtures with red clover. New varieties have good persistence suitable for 2-3 years use in mild climates. A lot of italian ryegrasses are used for intercropping i.e. between maize crops. Italian ryegrass exists in diploid and tetraploid forms. Westerwoldicum is the annual type of Italian ryegrass and the fastest growing grass. Contrary to italian ryegrass, it forms stems during the sowing year. Westerwoldicum is used when high production is required within 3-6 months after sowing. Differences between diploid and tetraploid varieties are small. LOLIUM MULTIFLORUM L.

C L O V E R A N D F O R A G E G R A S S 9 Lolium x boucheanum Kunth. - Hybrid ryegrass - Bastardweidelgras - Ray-grass hybride - Raigrás híbrido Hybrid ryegrass is a cross between perennial and italian ryegrass combining yield, quality and persistence. Types range from perennial ryegrass, intermediate and italian types. Usage has mainly been for conservation but the new perennial types have proved to be excellent for grazing. Hybrid ryegrass has improved drought tolerance to italian ryegrass, especially the very dense hybrids. Spring growth is similar to early perennial ryegrasses whereas the heading is more like intermediate perennials. This gives a great deal of flexibility in the spring and high quality forage.

This creates a combination of high quality from italian ryegrass with good winterhardiness, persistence and stress tolerance of fescues. As a result of crossing/backcrossing and selection, DLF-TRIFOLIUM has types similar to tall fescue, italian ryegrass and perennial ryegrass, all with improved characteristics taken from the parent crossings. This gives an excellent opportunity to extend the growth of high quality grass in cold regions. Name Listed in Type Yield Winterhardiness Persistence Becva CZ, I, SK Italian/westerwold.
