-
Bred and grown in Australia
-
Designed for local conditions with a unique cross of 25% annual and 50% Italian ryegrass
-
Provides high winter and early spring growth
-
Finer leaves than a tetraploid ryegrass producing dense, higher quality feed
-
Selected from superior lines of Eclipse for increased herbage and disease resistance
-
Varieties with annual and Italian, like Eclipse select, do well in a variable climate making them the ‘all-rounder’ of the ryegrasses
-
More upright variety therefore improving utilisation under grazing or reducing lodging when being made into silage
