Summary[edit]
| Description | Introduced, cool season, annual, semi-prostrate to erect, tufted grass to 1.5m tall. Flowerheads are open panicles to 40cm long. Spikelets are 1.7–2.5 cm long (without the awns), each with 1–7 florets. Glumes are 1.5–3 cm long. Lemmas are 1.2–2.5 cm long, hairless, 2-toothed and the lowest lemma usually awned, others usually unawned; awn, when present, usually straight, 15–45 mm long, inserted at about middle of lemma to below sinus. Flowering is in spring. A native of Europe, it is sown as a crop and/or forage on more fertile soils. It has slight aluminium tolerance; although this varies between varieties (Saia more tolerant). Has potential for high production of quality feed in the winter feed gap if fertilized. Sow mid-February to early April for all varieties. Can be direct drilled into kikuyu, but not till kikuyu has gone dormant. Don’t graze until plants are well anchored. Don’t graze below 5 cm for prostrate varieties or 10 cm for erect varieties for best recovery. Doesn’t recover from grazing once it has started to run to head. Can be susceptible to rust, and barley yellow dwarf virus. Produces feed earlier than ryegrass, but not as long into spring. |
