Mach 1 ®
Mach 1 is a fast establishing, high yielding tetraploid annual ryegrass that is late flowering for high feed quality well into spring and early summer. It has excellent recovery from grazing and is the ideal high yield, late maturing crop for silage and hay production. Rotational grazing is recommended for maximum growth rate and hay booster type fertilisers will achieve extra drymatter for grazing, silage or hay production.

Burst
This cost effective tetraploid ryegrass boosts winter feed and hay silage and is perfect for farmers looking for a fast growing solution. Aptly named, Burst springs from the ground quickly - and can be used for for oversowing tired pastures to get winter feed up and running.

Double Crop
DoubleCrop is an annual diploid ryegrass that suits winter and spring production. As it is fast establishing, it provides quick winter feed, giving farmers enough opportunity to get paddocks prepared for summer crops. You’ll find you can even oversow to extract even more production out of your heavily used paddocks.
DoubleCrop is cost effective - particularly in regions of lower rainfall where the season may draw to a close early - and is designed to optimise early production for grazing.
