tetraploid italian ryegrass

  • Exceptional summer yield and forage quality (low aftermath heading)
  • Ideal for undersowing into those opened up and thinned out pastures, as part of a pasture mix or sown as a pure sward
  • Strong second year production – better than traditional Italian ryegrasses, offering feed for longer
  • Good rust tolerance supports higher dry matter yields and increased palatability for grazing animals
  • The first tetraploid Italian ryegrass available with AR37 endophyte*

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.
