This mix contains the following products
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.

Coolamon
A black seeded sub clover variety with high seed production and hard seed levels, Coolamon offers improved seedling regeneration with dense swards for higher herbage development. This high yielding species has good resistance to clover scorch and improved winter and spring production. Ideally Coolamon is suited for sowing with Riverina in hay or grazing pasture mixes.

Riverina
Riverina is a yellow seeded sub clover variety producing moderate hard seed levels and large seed sizes to ensure vigour and establishment. Its resistance to root rot and clover scorch gives it a superior advantage over Trikkala, and it is equally suited to dryland or irrigated areas over a wide range of soils. Riverina performs better in autumn and winter than other varieties and offers strong drymatter production to boot.

Yarck II
Yarck II is an Australian bred cocksfoot with good seedling vigour, improved establishment and strong winter growth. Yarck II has also demonstrated excellent summer activity with good response to summer rainfall. Similar to Porto Currie, Yarck II also displays strong all-round persistence.

Avalon
Avalon is a late flowering perennial ryegrass bred for improved persistence. It is highly productive, disease resistant, and most importantly, long lasting.
Avalon is highly productive through winter and into late spring, with fine leafed foliage and a dense growth habit. It is extremely versatile and performs well with all stock types, particularly dry land and dairy production areas. Avalon performs well in sheep and beef zones due to its strong production and persistence traits.

Braidwood
A medium to large leaf variety. Braidwood was selected from old naturalised stands of white clover growing in high altitude very cold regions of Australia. Bred locally, Braidwood has good stolon density and is showing in trials to be very winter active with excellent persistence and will complement late flowering types such as Tribute and Nomad well in a pasture.
