Description
Looking for a safe, high-yielding ryegrass that holds on through tough summers? Elevate CM142 combines top-end yield with animal safety and persistence.
- More grass in the paddock – proven high yields from a tetraploid ryegrass.
- Safe for cows – reduced risk of ryegrass staggers.
- Stronger persistence – endophyte protection against key pests.
- Late-heading – holds quality into spring.
- Cost-effective endophyte – season after season.
Elevate ryegrass is a brand-new tetraploid perennial ryegrass, developed with Cropmark Seeds, bred for Australian dairy pastures.
It’s a late-maturing (+20 days c/ Nui) ryegrass featuring the breakthrough CM142 endophyte – protecting pastures from insect pests without the staggers risk of older endophytes. That means safer cows, stronger persistence, and more grass through the season.
Peter Notman’s thoughts after the harsh 2025 summer:
“It’s been a tough season, but Elevate has hung in there. When other paddocks were opening up or losing density, Elevate still had strong ground cover and healthy plants. That’s exactly what farmers need – ryegrass that can ride out a hot summer and keep going into autumn,” Peter said.
Across key dairy regions, Elevate ryegrass has shown excellent yield and quality – staying leafy later, and giving farmers more feed when it counts.
