Description
Elevate CM142 is a brand NEW tetraploid perennial ryegrass developed by Notman Pasture Seeds and Cropmark Seeds to meet the demands of modern dairy and intensive beef operations.. This variety integrates the innovative CM142 endophyte, offering a balanced combination of high forage yield, enhanced animal safety, and improved pasture yield persistence.
Elevate CM142 is late maturing ryegrass (+20 days c/ Nui) which enable farmers in medium to high rainfall areas an opportunity to maximise the grasses production by keeping leafy late into the season.
Along with Cropmark Seeds newest diploid perennial release Stampede CM142 diploid perennial ryegrass, we believe these grasses will provide farmers a cost-effective solution for dairy farmers seeking high-performance pastures without compromising on quality. Its introduction provides an alternative that performs comparably to other advanced endophyte products in the market. Add clover to Elevate or Stampede in our Vatbuster seed mix range (more here).
