Ryegrass - Autumn Reseeds.
Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) persists and remains durable in a sward through aggressive tillering (creating dense new shoots from the plant base) rapid recovery from physical damage and a fibrous, robust root system in the topsoil. Mechanisms of Persistence and Durability. Aggressive Tillering. Instead of spreading via runners like some grasses, perennial ryegrass is clump-forming and produces dense basal tillers. If the top leaves are mowed or grazed, these tillers
Rainfastness.
It looks like we may see showers throughout the month of May. How does that affect agrochemical application? What are we talking about when we say “rainfastness”? Rainfastness refers to a crop protection product’s ability to maintain performance after exposure to rain or irrigation which is particularly important during showery weather conditions. Why? Simply because once applied the product needs to hit the leaf surface and then remain there long enough to perform the task
