dc.description.abstract | ‘GRASSLANDS TAMA’ Westerwolds ryegrass (Lolium multijlorum
Lam.) is a tetraploid cultivar of an extreme annual form of Italian
ryegrass, bred in New Zealand and released into certification in
1967 (Barclay and Vartha, 1966) . Tama has been used mainly
as a greenfeed crop to provide high quality production feed for
use in late pregnancy and early lactation and should not be confused
with winter maintenance feed crops such as swedes and
turnips.
Seed sales of Tama on the domestic market have declined in
recent years, no doubt caused in part by the high cost of seed
and by poor performance from sowings in dry autumns. To ensure
reliability of Tama feed supply in late winter-early spring, correct
husbandry in the previous months is required. It is the purpose
of this paper to review this husbandry in the light of recent
research findings. | en |
