Lolium perenne
Sideways
Sideways Perennial Ryegrass (PSRX-S84) (Lolium perenne) develops aggressive, strong spreading stolons at an early stage, which contributes improved wear tolerance and recovery, along with increased density when used for permanent turf. It was developed by Dr. Leah Brilman, working with Rutgers to increase persistence and summer stress tolerance. Sideways perennial ryegrass is a dwarf variety with dense, fine-textured leaves and excellent color for increased turf quality and appearance. This ryegrass variety also exhibits good resistance to Red Thread and Brown Patch and very high levels of Gray Leaf Spot resistance. Sideways delivers high turf perfor- mance when used for both permanent turf, or for overseeding of winter-dormant bermudagrass. It can be managed under a wide range of maintenance levels, ranging from residential turf to high end sports or golf courses. The high endophyte content in Sideways makes it resistant to many insects
