Variety traits

Dry matter — Italian ryegrass

Lolium multiflorum Lam. ssp. italicum (A. Br.) Volkart

An indicator of productivity and nutritional value in Italian ryegrass, representing the mass of dry residue in the harvest. It serves as a key criterion for assessing variety efficiency under multi-cut management systems.

In the reference 49 varieties crop Italian ryegrass, where this is mentioned in the description.

The dry matter yield of Italian ryegrass in state variety trials ranges from 38–41 to 58 c/ha or more, depending on growing conditions and the number of cuts. The dry matter composition of high-quality forage contains crude protein levels reaching 15–20%, sugars at 6–10%, and fiber at 20–25%.

Monitoring dry matter accumulation is the primary method for determining optimal mowing stages for 3–5 cuts per growing season. Italian ryegrass ensures stable productivity due to high cumulative dry matter output, which distinguishes it from other ryegrass species under multi-cut cultivation.
