Megatas
Megatas is a highly summer active cocksfoot with a very high level of palatability as per digestibility and nutritive value. Ideally suited to high production dairy or beef systems, Megatas consistently produces high dry matter yields with excellent seedling vigour and high tiller density. Megatas is suitable for all classes of livestock.
Sowing rate:
5-10 kg/ha alone
1-5 kg/ha with clovers
- 500mm+
Savvy
Savvy is a vigorous, very high yielding cocksfoot providing high production levels in all seasons, maintaining summer quality and palatability due to its low aftermath heading and soft leaves. Unlike most cocksfoot varieties, Savvy has exceptional disease resistance and has been bred to tolerate hard grazing in cattle and sheep systems, ensuring excellent recovery and persistence in a range of conditions.
Key features:
High autumn and winter production
High quality and very leafy with summer moisture
Bred for soft fine leaves
Disease tolerant
Increased palatability
Suited to well drained sandy loam soils
Tolerates acidic soils where perennial ryegrass struggles to persist
Sowing rate:
8-10 kg/ha pure stand
2-5 kg/ha with clovers and herbs
Endophyte:
Nil
Persistence:
5-10 years
Recommended rainfall:
