Description

Forge NEA is a hybrid ryegrass developed by Barenbrug, designed to persist for 3 to 4 years. It is suitable for various ryegrass systems and offers improved performance over some perennial options. Forge NEA provides exceptional winter and early spring yield.

Forge NEA is well-suited for farmers looking for a flexible ryegrass option that balances production and persistence. While it may not match the longevity of traditional perennials, it delivers strong seasonal growth, particularly in the cooler months, making it a practical choice for short-to-medium-term pasture systems. Its hybrid nature allows it to establish quickly and provide reliable forage, supporting grazing systems that require a steady feed supply through winter and early spring.

• 3-5 year pasture for highest productivity temperate systems
• Use pattern sits between 2-3 year hybrids such as Shogun and perennials such as 4front
• Temperate higher rainfall zone (>700mm) or irrigation
• Tetraploid grass component in a high-performance ryegrass/clover pasture
