Description
A new cocksfoot from the Cropmark Seeds plant breeding programme, Kainui Cocksfoot was bred for high yields, good compatibility within pasture mixes, and strong root development for summer dry tolerance.
Kainui has high tiller density, and soft ryegrass-like leaves, with very good disease resistance. It is well suited for inclusion in pasture mixes or as a specialist pasture in summer-dry areas. Latest genetics, NZ bred.
Kainui Cocksfoot has the following benefits:
- Higher yields across all seasons
- Excellent summer-dry tolerance
- Finer, softer, more ryegrass-like leaves
- Better compatibility within pasture mixes
