What's the forecast for rye grass survival at all different stages of growth. (8 different paddocks from seedling to laying over)
Supposed to get to 24 deg tomorrow night, 29 deg Thursday night, and 33 Friday night, clear skies.
Ground is pretty much saturated right now but will be clearing and sunny all three days.
I hate cold weather.
Mostly Gulf Annual.
 
Time will tell..........Up here we use mostly Marshall ryegrass, it is about the most cold tolerant.
 
Shouldn't be a problem at all. Maybe had some that got burned a little after a 4-5 days below freezing (yeah it does happen from time to time here) but never a kill. With 80 degree days just a few days ago, it will take a while for the ground to get cold enough for 24 degrees to cause problems.
 
Mainly wondering about the seedlings, but they've up'ed it to around 27 deg now. They just got a rain of a little over an inch. We'll see.
