Pasja II Leafy Turnip – Fast, Leafy Feed for Summer Grazing


Pasja II is a quick-growing leafy turnip ideal for summer and autumn feed. It delivers highly palatable, high-energy feed that’s perfect for dairy, sheep, and beef systems needing fast turnaround between grazings.

With excellent regrowth potential and soft, leafy tops, Pasja II performs well in dry conditions and suits rotational grazing or short-term finishing. It can be sown alone or in mixtures with clover or millet for flexible summer feed systems.


Benefits of Pasja II Leafy Turnip

  • Fast to first graze – ready in 6–8 weeks
  • Excellent regrowth – up to 3 grazings with good moisture
  • Highly palatable – soft leaf, high utilisation
  • Performs in heat and dry conditions – reliable summer performer

Pasja II Leafy Turnip is available in our Top Crop Forage Blends.


Pasja II Leafy Turnip vs Forage Rape

  • Pasja II is ideal for quick, leafy feed in early–mid summer or in areas with reliable summer rainfall. It’s great for finishing stock quickly, but may struggle under prolonged dry heat.

  • Forage rape is more robust in dry or marginal summer conditions, producing more bulk and offering better regrowth if managed well. It’s a better fit for tougher summer environments. It’s deeper taproot gives better soil moisture access


Top Crop Forage Blends

Pasja II is a key ingredient in our Top Crop Forage Blends, bringing fast, leafy feed and excellent palatability to the mix. Its quick establishment makes it ideal for early grazing, helping farmers fill the summer feed gap while longer-term species like forage rape or millet build bulk. Pasja II works especially well in blends with millet, clover, and chicory, giving flexibility for multiple grazings and supporting both dairy and livestock systems with high-quality summer feed.
