Dry matter — perennial ryegrass

Lolium perenne L.

A fundamental indicator of productivity and nutritional value of perennial ryegrass, expressed as a fraction of green mass or total yield per unit area. A critical parameter for assessing forage quality and optimizing haylage harvesting technologies.

In the reference 156 varieties crop Perennial ryegrass, where this is mentioned in the description.

The dry matter yield of perennial ryegrass varies significantly depending on varietal characteristics, management practices, and climatic conditions, reaching values from 3.38 to 7.3 t/ha. In its natural state, the crop's green mass contains an average of about 26.6% dry matter, which directly affects the wilting technology during forage harvesting.

The content of nutrients, such as crude protein, sugars, and metabolizable energy (amounting to 11–11.5 MJ/kg), is calculated exclusively per kilogram of dry matter. In breeding work, dry matter yield is a priority trait that must be combined with winter hardiness and stand longevity.
