Annual Cutter Tetraploid Ryegrass

$4.75 ex store + GST
$6.10 incl GST & freight

Cutter is ideal for under sowing, over sowing or winter crop. It is suitable in all weather conditions. It is persistent with excellent winter growth and is dark green in colour. Cutter will last 2 years under suitable conditions. It is very palatable to grazing animals. We have been growing this grass for 30 years now with excellent results and superior growth.

The extra growth and quality that Cutter ryegrass produces in the winter months enables the stock to have more than enough grass to cope with. Sowing into existing gives the pasture its full potential in the winter months and there is no stress of waiting for grass to grow when the stock need grazing in the spring.

Up to 22 tonnes dry matter per hectare.

Annual ryegrass is recognised as one of the highest quality cool-season grasses. In a leafy stage, it is high in protein, digestability, and has many vitamins and minerals. Because of its quick regrowth, early spring growth and extended grazing in late autumn into early winter, annual ryegrass has greater overall productivity than most other grasses during its growing period.

Striker diploid ryegrass

Striker is a diploid Italian ryegrass, widely used for dairying. It provides winter growth when you need it the most. Striker ryegrass is ideal for sowing alone or into existing pasture. It is a standalone green feed, palatable to grazing stock. It is erect standing and dark green in colour with high forage quality and rapid regrowth. Well proven for its stability and good strike. It is extensively used throughout New Zealand, producing up to 20 tonnes dry matter per hectare.

On irrigated or wet land it will grow into its second year. Sown in dryer areas like Northland 25 kg ryegrass with 3-4 kg red clover is a good option as the red clover will reseed once the ryegrass has faded.
