GRAZER NOVA

    GRAZER NOVA

    Lolium westerwoldicum

    Westerwold/annual ryegrass

    Diploid very early variety with high dry matter production

    Very early heading
    GRAZER NOVA heads very fast after sowing. With the score of 1 for heading on the scale from 1-9 in Germany (BSA) it is amongst the earliest available. 

    Very productive variety
    Right from the 1st cut, the yield is +35% compared to standards. Good lodging tolerance Despite the early heading the lodging resistance is good when the cut is taken at the optimal stage.

    Easy conservation
    As a diploid the dry matter content is about 2% higher than for tetraploids. This allows faster drying in the field and easier conservation as hay or silage without compromising forage quality.

    • Early = fast access to forage
    • High total drymatter yield in particular the 1st cut
    • Good lodging tolerance
    • Easy silage
