Description

Ed MAX Annual Ryegrass is a rapidly growing diploid variety designed to provide high-quality forage during late autumn, winter, and early spring. Its early-season vigor and swift regrowth make it an excellent choice for producers seeking nutritious feed when other forages are less active. Notably, Ed MAX matures later than traditional annual ryegrasses like Tetila, extending its productive period.

Grazing: Suitable for all classes of livestock, Ed MAX demonstrates high productivity during winter months when other ryegrass species exhibit slower growth. It performs well under both rotational and continuous grazing systems throughout the cooler seasons.

Silage and Hay: For silage harvest and cover crop applications, Ed MAX’s ability to produce higher biomass earlier in the season is beneficial. Producers can expect substantial yields and rapid regrowth when harvesting for early spring hay.

Cold Tolerance: Ed MAX exhibits excellent cold tolerance, making it a preferred choice for rapid establishment and grazing in late autumn and winter.

Erosion Control: The quick spring growth of Ed MAX aids in soil stabilization and erosion control, contributing to improved soil health.

Cover Crop: With its high biomass production, Ed MAX is effective in capturing excess nitrogen, breaking up compacted soils, and building soil organic matter. It can be utilized as a single-species cover crop or integrated into forage blends with legumes, brassicas, and other cover crop species.
