The influence of increasing levels (0.0%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%, 0.8%, 1.2%, 1.6%, and 2.0%) of NaCl on the germination of Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis), annual ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum), perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne), creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris), tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea), and crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum) was investigated. Kentucky bluegrass, creeping bentgrass, and crested wheatgrass had a 50% reduction in germination at 0.2%, 0.6%, and 0.6% NaCl, respectively, compared to the control and completely lost germination at 0.6%, 1.2%, and 1.6% NaCl, respectively. Seed germination in both annual ryegrass and perennial ryegrass was only 50% of the control at 1.2% NaCl and completely inhibited at 2.0% NaCl. Tall fescue, red fescue, and creeping red fescue showed a 50% reduction in germination at NaCl concentrations of 1.2%, 1.2%, and 0.8%, respectively, while showing a complete inhibition of germination at 2.0%, 2.0%, and 1.6% NaCl, respectively.

Seedlings of tall fescues (Festuca arundinacea), phalaris (Phalaris aquatica) and annual ryegrass (Lolium rigidum) were compared with those of other temperate grasses and cereals at 11 and 47 days after sowing at 18/13�C (12/12 h) to determine their relative seedling vigour. Also, the growth rates of two Mediterranean and two temperate cultivars of tall fescue were compared with those of phalaris and annual ryegrass at 14/6�C and 23/20�C (12/12 h) using growth analysis techniques. Shoot growth rates of seedlings were related to caryopsis weight (r = 0.99 at 11 days after sowing) when the range of weights was large, but there was no correlation among perennials with low caryopsis weights (<0.2 mg). Although they had heavier caryopses, seedlings of tall fescue grew more slowly than seedlings of phalaris. All seedlings grew faster at 23/20�C than at 14/6�C. Annual ryegrass had the highest dry matter yield, achieved through a rapid production of tillers, it grew relatively better with respect to ryegrass at 23/20�C than at 14/6�C. Phalaris depended on larger tillers for increased yield, and growth of these was favoured by the higher temperatures. Tall fescue seedlings were less vigorous than the other grasses, but temperate types grew much faster than Mediterranean types at 23/20�C. These trends occurred because of a high leaf area (equivalent to annual ryegrass) and leaf area ratio in phalaris at 23/20�C, and lower leaf extension rates and smaller leaves in Mediterranean fescues than in temperate fescues. The results indicate that: (1) because of better seedling growth, phalaris may be increasingly preferred to tall fescue for aerial seeding or direct drilling in regions where both are adapted; (2) at optimum temperatures, the Mediterranean fescues have poorer seedling vigour than the temperate types; and (3) at optimum temperatures, annual ryegrass may provide more serious competition to the fescues than to phalaris.

In this paper, a kind of new biomass cellular material was prepared by the growth of forage grass such as annual ryegrass, tall fescue, and trefoil in the molding container. In the process of growth, the molding container had been inverted repeatedly. Effect of temperature on the growth of three kind of forage grass was researched by seed germination experiment. The properties of the material were evaluated by TG and universal testing machine. The results showed that 25°C was the optimum growth temperature, and under this condition the germination percentage and germination potential of annual ryegrass, tall fescue, trefoil were respectively 93.67%, 91.67%, 84.33% and 83.00%, 81.67%, 80.67%. The biomass cellular material had good mechanical properties. By changing the addition of seeds, mechanical properties could be adjusted for various end uses.
