Product Information

Hancock's Perennial Forage Ryegrass Seed tillers more profusely but is lower growing than annual Ryegrass, and will not form a seed head in the seeding year. It is more susceptible to a summer slump than annual Ryegrass. Perennial Ryegrass will head early under dry conditions after the seeding year. Perennial Ryegrass seed is used for erosion control, sports, lawns, and pastures.

In the United States, perennial ryegrass is used predominately for forage in the coastal northwest, irrigated intermountain valleys of the west, the midwest, and Northeast.

Perennial Ryegrass is grown primarily for pasture and silage. It can be grown for hay in the pacific northwest, but typically will provide only one hay cutting, and little regrowth. It also is used for reducing soil erosion, recycling nutrients from manure and biosolids, wildlife feed, and turf.

There are many important perennial Ryegrass varieties. All are reproduced by seed.

Many types of Ryegrass exist, because most varieties do not self-pollinate but easily cross with other Lolium and Festuca species. Persistence of perennial and annual hybrids falls between that of annual and perennial varieties. As a result, these crosses are called intermediate, or short-rotation Ryegrasses.

There are both diploid and tetraploid forage-type varieties. Tetraploids have fewer, but larger tillers with wider leaves, resulting in more open sods. Both the seed and seedlings of tetraploids are larger, but growth rate is greater for diploids. Tetraploids are less winter-hardy and less persistent than diploids.

Including both forage and turf types, many varieties are listed in grass varieties of the United States. Information on varieties also is available from the Oregon Ryegrass Growers Seed Commission and through the Germplasm Resources Information Network.

Perennial Ryegrass varieties are grouped into three maturity categories: early, intermediate, and late. These groupings are somewhat helpful, but there is substantial overlap among them.

Perennial Ryegrass is best adapted to cool, moist climates where winter kill is not a problem. Its primary use for forage in the United States is in the pacific northwest. There also is considerable use in irrigated intermountain valleys, the midwest, and the northeast.

Ryegrass is a cool season variety, plant once nighttime temperatures are consistently 65 degrees and below.

Planting:

  • Lawns: 5-10 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft.
  • Pasture: 20-40 lbs. per acre
  • Apply 250 lbs. of 16-04-08 fertilizer per acre.

Perennial Ryegrass grows best on fertile, well-drained soils but has a wide range of soil adaptability. It is suited for use in soil drainage classes ranging from well-drained to poorly drained. It will tolerate long periods of flooding (15 to 25 days) when temperatures are below 80 degrees fahrenheit. A minimum precipitation range is 18 to 25 in. Perennial Ryegrass tolerates both acidic and alkaline soils, with a pH range of 5.1 to 8.4. Best growth occurs when soil pH is maintained between 5.5 and 7.5.

Spring and fall are the seasons of best growth, during the hot summer months, perennial Ryegrass becomes dormant. Maximum growth occurs between 68 and 77 degrees fahrenheit. Perennial Ryegrass is adapted to shade in the warmer portions of a cool, humid climate.

Perennial Ryegrass is more sensitive to temperature extreme and drought than annual Ryegrass. Even with irrigation or abundant rainfall, production suffers when daytime temperatures exceed 87 Fahrenheit and nighttime temperatures exceed 77 Fahrenheit.

Perennial Ryegrass is less winter-hardy than Orchardgrass and Tall Fescue and less drought-tolerant than smooth Bromegrass. Studies in Wisconsin, however, suggest that perennial ryegrass is able to overwinter in colder climates, even where snow cover is unreliable. In the pacific northwest, perennial Ryegrass will survive most winter weather conditions. However, during very harsh winters, it may winter kill. Thus, it should be considered a short-lived perennial.

Perennial Ryegrass often is harvested for silage. It makes up a considerable portion of dairy-quality grass silage in coastal regions of the pacific northwest.

As with all forage species, silage quality is influenced greatly by maturity stage. For the optimal compromise between quality and quantity, cut perennial Ryegrass in the boot stage. Harvesting perennial Ryegrass for hay is not recommended in high rainfall/humidity areas such as the coastal. Good hay curing weather typically occurs too late in the pacific northwest for producing high-quality Ryegrass hay.

Ryegrass is a cool season variety, plant once nighttime temperatures are consistently 65 degrees and below.

Holy grail for type 1 rosacea
Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1), Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This has saved my face. I have type 1 rosacea and my skin has been pissed off for the last eight months straight. I have tried everything including compounded prescription creams that only made my face flare worse. I deal with a lot of flushing and burning that can be triggered by the slightest bit in temperature rise or just seemingly at random, especially at night. Since using this product my skin has calmed down drastically. It's only been a couple days, but so far I'm thinking this is a holy grail product for me. I also purchased the Glenser because the oil cleanser that I was using had fragrance and alcohol, which can be extremely irritating for rosacea. Since switching to Prequel I can honestly say my skin is so much happier and less reactive. Worth a shot if your a rosy girl like me.

A perfect edition to my Rosacea skincare routine
Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Unfortunately, this doesn't fully get rid of the optical redness from my Rosacea, probably only about 30-40%. However, after using it consistently,(I'm now on my 2nd bottle, using at least twice a day), I have noticed that my skin is softer, less textured and definitely less red overall. My face gets super red especially towards the evening, but waking up in the morning I have noticed less and less redness. It kinda tingle/burns on my most sensitive areas where there's obvious inflammation, but the sensation fades as it totally absorbs into my skin. I wear it as a 2nd layer to my routine, and it wears well under makeup, just remember to moisturize after applying it, and before adding any makeup. It does also tend to pill up if you accidentally touch/rub on your face, so just be mindful of that. I am very satisfied with this serum and even gifted a bottle to my Mom. As a Rosacea Girly, I love this product and have permanently added it to my skincare routine.

Surprisingly effective
Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I frequently have combo skin with oily, dilated pores on my nose and dryness in other areas. I got this to address blotchy redness (my skin can be especially reactive to too much moisturizer and/or too many actives). Redness Reform definitely helps to calm the redness, but I've been really surprised to see it also calming down my dilated pores and making my skin overall much more balanced. With consistent twice daily application, I find I'm able to step up my use of retinoids and AHAs without seeing increased irritation. It's been so helpful for multiple concerns that I've already repurchased to make sure I have a new bottle on hand when this one runs out! Giving 4 stars because I wish there were more product for the price. You can definitely get away with 2 small pumps to cover the face and neck if your skin is moist/hydrated after cleansing, but I find I'm liking to use just a bit more (4 pumps or so) to get really thorough coverage and hone in on the areas that need it most. The other reason it isn't 5/5 for me is because it's too thin to actually deliver on the promise of optical correction. Yes, it's green, but it's doing very, very little short-term to camouflage redness. I do like the consistency, because it does allow a little to go a long way and gives it a higher-end application feel, but it's misleading to suggest that you'll get meaningful color correction while using this product.

NOT for rosacea or ocular rosacea!!
Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
NOT for rosacea! I have rosacea and ocular rosacea. I did a test on the side of my cheek. It seemed to go OK…. When I used it on my entire face, I paid for it for two days!! Caused a nasty flare. This product has GLYCOLIC ACID, very low levels of it, but it does nonetheless. It was a disaster for me.
