Key features and where does MEGABITE Persist fit?

Long-Season Italian Performance
The ultra late heading Vibe (+27 days) and Feast II deliver vigorous establishment, dense tillering and strong regrowth, driving high dry matter production across the full Italian ryegrass window. Their growth habit supports frequent grazing without sacrificing recovery.
Grazing-Adapted Legumes
Mantra white clover and USA red clover are selected for grazing tolerance and feed quality, providing a dependable protein source to complement high-energy Italian ryegrass. White clover contributes year-round productivity, while red clover adds bulk and quality during warmer periods.
