Description

The more acid tolerant Australian bred Phalaris


Advanced AT is a winter-active perennial phalaris bred specifically for highly acidic and aluminium-rich soils. It combines strong seedling vigour with the ability to establish and persist where conventional phalaris varieties struggle — tolerating soil pH levels as low as CaCl₂ 3.9.

With its deep-rooted, tufted growth habit and strong winter activity, Advanced AT provides reliable feed production and pasture persistence on challenging sites. It’s an ideal option for beef and sheep producers seeking to extend perennial pastures onto country previously considered too acidic for phalaris.


Key benefits of Advanced AT Phalaris:

  • Exceptional tolerance to acid and aluminium-affected soils

  • Strong seedling vigour and root penetration for better establishment on poor sites

  • Winter-active with solid year-round feed production

  • Deep-rooted structure delivers drought tolerance and long-term persistence

  • Suitable for rotational grazing systems and a wide range of soil textures

  • Opens new opportunities for perennial pastures on acid-prone country
