| Abstract/Contents: | "Seed production, plant characteristics and herbage regrowth of three cultivars of Westerwolds ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) were determined during 3 production years. Ryegrass was fertilized with nitrogen at 60, 90 and 120 kg ha-1 applied either all at the two- to three-leaf stage or split (3:2) between the two- to three-leaf stage and stem elongation. Seed yield of three cultivars ranged from 742 to 1440 kg ha-1. Nitrogen fertilizer at 90 kg ha-1 resulted in near maximum seed yields. Single and split applications of nitrogen resulted in similar seed yields. Density of fertile tillers ranged from 541 to 911 m-2 among the cultivars and responded linearly to applied N. A positive relationship was detected between the density of fertile tillers and seed yield. Herbage in aftermath averaged 2280 kg ha-1 dry matter, 125 g kg-1 crude protein, 597 g kg-1 neutral detergent fibre and 344 g kg-1 acid detergent fibre." |
