Nitrogen Requirement of Italian Rygrass (Lolium multiflorum) : A Review

Abstract

Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for ryegrass growth and development but excess of it may lead to accumulation of nitrate in plants which may be lethal for ruminants. Irrigation, seed rate, variety, quality, cutting time and frequency, location alittude and fertilizer types are variables in the different articles in this review we selected to see the reaction of Italian rygrass to different nitrogen doses in core. A series of comments were also mentioned in the conclusion part of this article to improve future studies in thes area.
