Best fits in double crop program followed by com. ZORRO Italian Ryegrass Zorro best fits for grazing and multiple harvest cropping programs with sorghum sudan as the following crop. It is better than Marshall for no-tilling into thin al falfa, and has better forage quality than Marshall. We were pleased with the good reports we got on Zorro this spring, even though Zorro. along with most annual and Italian ryegrasses planted late had some winter injury. Some early planted Zorro (that wasn’t harvested due to wet fields) had injury because of ex cessive growth going into winter. In most cases it grew back very well.

Rerun is similar to Italian ryegrass in quality, but less heady in the summer (still has some heads). Winterhardiness is excellent. We did not sed any winter damage in early spring. Rerun has been the highest ytekJer in our plots. In New York, Rerun was entered in the 2001 planting of Cornell University ryegrass trial, and it yielded over. 6,85 tons of dry matter in 2002. This was 21% higher than the top perennial ryegrass. Note: Ryegrasses and festuloliums are slower to dry than most grasses. They are best used for balage and grazing.
