Ryegrass Ryegrass
Asset
An Italian diploid ryegrass with high tiller density that has persistence thanks to the AR37 endophyte, Asset AR37 kicks back into a more leafy crop in post-summer grazing. As a low aftermath winter-active grass, Asset AR37 works well as an oversow into dairy paddocks. The AR37 endophyte also adds a high level of insect protection.

Knight
Knight is a fast establishing Italian diploid ryegrass that yields outstanding growth and performance in all seasons. Knight stands and delivers during winter and summer when you need your paddocks to be working hardest. Ideal for grazing, hay and silage, Knight has good tolerance to rust and its reputation as a fast starter has gained a strong following with milk and meat producers throughout Australia.
Sowing rate:

10-20 kg/ha with clovers
- Diploid

Thumpa
Thumpa is selected for rapid establishment and high yield - classic qualities of being a tetraploid Italian ryegrass. Quick growth ensures early feed for grazing or silage options and its late flowering characteristics keep the pasture yields up right through until later in the season. Ideal for rotational grazing, Thumpa is an excellent winter crop solution for Australian and New Zealand farmers.
Sowing rate:
25-30 kg/ha alone
15-25 kg/ha with clovers
- Tetraploid
- 600mm+
Halo
Halo AR37 is a late-heading tetraploid perennial ryegrass with very strong year-round performance and persistence. It produces a medium leaf size and increased tiller density, contributing to its summer quality and exceptional growth. With added protection from AR37 novel endophyte, Halo has increased pest tolerance along with improved regrowth potential and reduced aftermath seed head production.
Halo AR37 is ideal for stock finishing and dairying systems in fertile environments, due to increased summer production and quality, and is also suited to areas where other tetraploids do not persist due to high insect pressure. Very late flowering, and with excellent summer quality, Halo is likely to improve liveweight gain on finishing operations and milk production on dairy farms.
Sowing rate:
25-35 kg/ha alone
20-25 kg with clovers

Kingsgate
Kingsgate is a mid-flowering perennial ryegrass and a strong performer in the Australian persistence market. It is densely tillered and offers good early-spring production with strong rust resistance levels.
Bred specifically to replace Kingston, Kingsgate has excellent low aftermath heading - a trait not common in early and mid-heading perennial ryegrasses - and performs well in low fertility areas and marginal country. It comes in standard endophyte and is best suited to sheep and beef grazing areas.

One50
One50 is a new generation late-heading perennial ryegrass providing outstanding drymatter production and high quality feed for silage and hay. It is high yielding and offers excellent summer, autumn and winter production with strong quality late feed.
Due to One50's late-heading date it maintains vegetative leaf production into late-spring and early-summer, making pasture management easier. Recommended for rotational grazing, One50 is available with AR37 endophyte for improved persistence and production advantages.

Prospect
Prospect is a new-generation mid-season, late-heading perennial diploid ryegrass providing excellent yields. Characterised by a dense fine-leaved habit, one of its main strengths is its reliable all-year-round production.
Prospect has proven its excellent adaptation to a wide range of environments from hill country to highly productive dairy pastures. Bred and selected with AR37 novel endophyte, its densely tillered, fine leaf nature enables it to recover from hard grazing once established and leads to good persistence under tough conditions.
