Lush tetraploid Italian ryegrass – a luscious quality forage. Rarely has a tetraploid Italian ryegrass delivered such outstanding summer feed quality, high yield potential and persistence.

Tom has grown Lush AR37 in both undersowing situations and as a pure sward and it has delivered a lot of quality feed. "It accumulates bulk volume without compromising on quality (even in January) - and the cows love it!" says Tom.
