Abstract

Although it is a productive pasture grass in the agricultural areas, annual ("Wimmera") ryegrass (Lolium rigidum) has two major disadvantages: the dormancy of a proportion of its seeds makes it an important weed in cereal crops and it can be involved in the "annual ryegrass toxicity" problem.

Recommendations for the control of annual ryegrass, and therefore annual ryegrass toxicity, have been shown effective in two continuing trials near Katanning.
