Delish® is a high yielding, fine leaved and densely tillered tetraploid short rotation (hybrid) ryegrass bred for improved disease resistance, persistence and low aftermath heading. Not only is Delish a tasty tetraploid but it is an Italian ryegrass crossed with a perennial ryegrass, providing you with the best attributes of each. Rapid, reliable establishment paired with a late heading date and low aftermath heading for excellent late spring/ summer quality and greater pasture longevity than an Italian ryegrass.

Michael and Emma Sutherland have been using Delish AR1 short rotation ryegrass for several years now and find its quality combined with its excellent growth paramount in the finishing of their lambs and cattle. Michael says “that Delish is a very palatable and clover friendly pasture option because of being a Tetraploid.”
