Cultivation
Lolium multiflorum Lam.
Italian ryegrass is an efficient raw material for silage and haylage production due to its high sugar content, rapid regrowth, and ability to yield up to five cuts per season.
In the reference 141 varieties crop Italian ryegrass, where this is mentioned in the description.
The crop has a high sugar content, which facilitates efficient lactic acid fermentation during preservation. For harvesting, it is optimal to use tetraploid varieties, which are characterized by broader leaves and improved palatability. The use of modern varieties that do not head in the year of sowing allows for a significant extension of the harvesting window without a loss of nutritional value.
Due to the high moisture content of the raw material, ryegrass is primarily harvested as haylage with mandatory pre-wilting for one day. In grass mixtures, ryegrass acts as a source of sugars necessary for the high-quality fermentation of protein-containing legume components, such as clover.
