Diploid Italian ryegrass:
Asset:
- Late heading date,
- Exceptional production in the winter spring and summer,
- Asset is the perfect choice if a persistent Italian ryegrass is required,
- Asset has excellent summer quality for its type, coupled with very high annual production,
- Asset is also the first Italian ryegrass with AR7 endophyte, this improves the persistency.
Fox:
- Mid heading date,
- Fox has a great establishment vigour with very high winter and spring production,
- Fox has performed exceptionally well in independent trails for spring pasture production and rust tolerance,
- Fox is also a persistent type, showing good plant survival through summer months,
- Fox was selected for summer heat tolerance, establishment vigour and good rust tolerance.
Yolande:
- Lolium multiflorum,
- Very high rust tolerance,
- Very few stems in the sowing year,
- Fewer stems in aftermath heading,
- High yield of dry matter.
Tetraploid Italian ryegrass:
Thumpa:
- Thumpa provides valuable early autumn and winter feed and valuable late quality season forage,
- Fast establishing tetraploid Italian ryegrass,
- Ideal for grazing, silage and hay,
- Late flowering for high quality, late season forage,
- Provides bulk early winter growth.
The main reason of growing Italian ryegrass is to obtain very high yields of dry matter, not only in 1-4 cuts, but for 18-24 months. With a score of 7.5 on a 1-9 scale, Impact confirms excellent persistence.
The forage is very healthy due to the excellent resistance to rust and the low aftermath heading.
