Forage use of Italian ryegrass

Lolium multiflorum Lam.

Italian ryegrass is a high-yielding forage crop with a protein content of up to 17.4% and high growth energy, providing up to 5-7 cuts per season.

In the reference 215 varieties crop Italian ryegrass, where this is mentioned in the description.

The forage mass of Italian ryegrass is distinguished by its excellent palatability for all types of livestock and the retention of nutritional properties even when overmature, unlike tall fescue, as it does not acquire a bitter taste. The crop is characterized by very rapid regrowth after mowing, which makes it more productive than many other grass species.

In the agrotechnical cycle, Italian ryegrass behaves as an annual, biennial, or short-lived perennial plant of the tall-growing type. Its high growth aggressiveness allows for effective use in grass mixtures with alfalfa or as a cover crop that suppresses weed development.
