Cocksfoot

Cocksfoot is a temperate perennial grass suited to well draining soil. It has lower nutritive value than ryegrass and phalaris, but will usually persist much better on open textured soils. Cocksfoot responds well to summer rainfall providing valuable feed and is also quite tolerant to acidic soils with higher aluminium levels.

Uplands

Uplands is a fine leaved Mediterranean cocksfoot with high tiller density and a very high level of drought and cold tolerance. It is a winter active and partially summer dormant variety that persists well under grazing, producing a large bulk of high protein, high energy forage that is highly palatable. Best adapted for sowing in low rainfall temperate areas, Uplands grows rapidly in autumn to late spring and is very tolerant of aluminium and acid soils. Sowing rate: 4-5 kg/ha alone 2-4 kg/ha with early maturing sub clovers

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

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: 600 mm+ Best grazing practice: Rotational
