With strong winter and early spring production, Italian ryegrass is a large leaved high-quality, short term pasture which can last 12-18 months or more.

Types of Italian Ryegrass

Diploid

Our diploids are bred for increased persistence of yield, combining high tiller density and robustness with increased annual yields. Newer late-heading cultivars provide improved feed quality and palatability with increased growth in Winter and Early Spring to fill seasonal feed gaps.
