Vast AR37 Perennial Ryegrass

Vast AR37 is an ultra late (+36 days heading) tetraploid perennial ryegrass ideal for southern Victorian and Tasmania farmers looking for long season feed.

Description

Vast AR37 perennial ryegrass is an ultra late tetraploid. With an extremely late (+36 days) heading date, Vast offers the latest perennial ryegrass heading date on the market. Low seed head production after the initial seeding period, in combination with a very late flowering date, means Vast will provide high quality feed across the majority of the growing season.

Vast provides strong annual production with exceptionally strong summer and autumn production advantages. In spring calving dairy systems, production of quality late season feed is ideal for slowing the post peak decline in milk production.

Sheep and beef systems will also benefit from exceptional summer and autumn production. Vast’s feed profile is ideal for beef, lamb finishing and providing feed during ewe flushing and mating.
