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.
