Expo diploid perennial ryegrass provides year-round production of dry matter with very strong cool season growth. Excellent feed quality from a late heading date (+21 days) and higher levels of water soluble carbohydrates (sugars). Expo is a versatile option suitable for both rotational and set stocking grazing systems with medium to high soil fertility.

Nick Browning has been using Expo for 5 years. Nick says “Expo is so dense it will fight well and keep the Kikuyu out. In a drought it stays green and bounces back quick after rain. The cows love it and after a few days grazing we notice a lift in their production.”
