Improving the Availability of Organic Forage Seed in Wales [PDF]
The EU regulation requiring organic farmers to use 100% organic herbage seed is looming closer. Currently they are ‘enjoying’ a derogation from this because suitable seed is not available. For 2004 seeds mixtures had to contain at least 50% organic seed.

N2-fixation and residual N effect of four legume species and four companion grass species [PDF]
Inclusion of forage legumes in low-input forage mixtures improves herbage production and soil fertility through addition of nitrogen (N) from N2-fixation.

We assessed Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) performance on five common pasture plant species. Larvae consumed more dock, plantain and chicory per day than red or white clover, but with lower conversion efficiencies. Feeding on red clover reduced weights and egg laying, and lengthened development times compared with plantain.

Blast disease in ryegrass is similar to rice blast in regard to infection cell biology [PDF]
Magnaporthe oryzae has been devastating to various grasses. This is especially true in food crops around the globe. Resistance has been implemented but has not been completely successful due to the variability of the fungus.

De Novo Genome Assembly of Ryegrass Mosaic Virus from a Ryegrass Transcriptome [PDF]
ABSTRACT The ryegrass mosaic virus (RgMV) is a single positive-strand RNA virus belonging to the genus Rymovirus . The major natural hosts for RgMV are members of the Gramineae species, including ryegrass. Here, we report the nearly complete genome sequence of RgMV by de

Free‐living birds need to acquire enough food to fulfil their energetic needs, which may require more effort in habitats with less favourable conditions. Therefore, to maintain their necessary energy intake, birds need to adjust their foraging behaviour in response to varying habitat conditions.

“Ocala” - A New Diploid Annual Ryegrass for the Southern U.S.
Ocala, a new UF annual ryegrass, has excellent disease resistance and sufficient cold tolerance to be grown successfully in the southern annual ryegrass region of the U.S. It is a well-adapted, diploid annual ryegrass population.

Nitrogen turnover and leaching in cropping systems with ryegrass catch crops [PDF]
This thesis deals with perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) catch crops and their short- and long-term effects on nitrogen leaching and nitrogen turnover in soils. Results are presented from three field experiments on a sandy soil in south-west Sweden,

Glyphosateresistant Italian ryegrass and perennial ryegrass in New Zealand a review
In 2013 three populations of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) and two populations of Italian ryegrass (L multiflorum) from five vineyards in New Zealand were confirmed to be resistant to glyphosate The level of resistance in four populations was almost 10fold while one population of perennial ryegrass (Population O) had a level of resistance greater
