Effect of Mineral Fertiliser Levels on the Yield Quality of Perennial Ryegrass

Perennial ryegrass is a short-lived bunch-grass with shallow root system. The plant is nutritious and palatable and stands up to hard grazing. It will not do well under poor conditions, where fertility or rainfall is low. Perennial ryegrass is a major component in different seed mixtures that are used for grassland management and forage production. This plant is the predominant component in nearly all pasture mixtures, with perennial ryegrass and white or red clover forming the basis for permanent pasture for dairy production and cattle. This grass species plays an important role in grassland productivity and forage quality. Ryegrass requires high fertility levels for good production. The significance of ryegrass to agriculture is reflected by the huge investments in research. The aim of work is to determine the balanced rate of mineral fertilisers in ryegrass seed field
