GRAZEMORE - tetraploid perennial ryegrass

Highly palatable Nil endophyte Superior stock preference 42 days later bolting than Nui Ideal in permanent pasture mixes

VARIETY OVERVIEW
Grazmore is a tetraploid perennial ryegrass with nil endophyte. It has ability to establish quickly into a quality highly palatable pasture, increasing intake and improved animal performance. Grazmore goes to seed 42 days later than Nui, which provides dramatically improved feed quality in late spring and summer and also makes control of seed head development easier. Grazmore was selected and bred from European material, has undergone extensive trailling in New Zealand and Australia. It is suitable for a wide range of soil types and conditions from poorly drained to well drained, light sandy soils to heavy clay loams. Heat and Drought tolerant.

SOWING AND ESTABLISHMENT
Grazmore can be sown alone at 25-30 kg/ha. Clovers should always be included and other species can also be considered for mixes, at sowing rates between 10-20 kg/ha. It combines well with other components of a pasture mix and can tolerate hard grazing.

GRAZING MANAGEMENT
Grazmore is 42 days later bolting than Nui, providing a longer grazing regime with extra productivity over late spring and summer. Grazmore is well suited to a range of grazing systems. It performs well under rotational grazing by both cattle and sheep and also persists well if hard grazed or set stocking by sheep.

LEAFMORE - rape

Highest yielding variety in 3 years of UK trials Winner of the Ashburton A&P winter feed competition Excellent stem to leaf ratio Good resistance to powdery mildew Quick maturity (6-8 weeks) Exceptional regrowth for up to 4 grazings

VARIETY OVERVIEW
Leafmore was bred in Holland. Being a first cross between the two popular varieties Winfred and Emerald. The final selection resulting in a highly productive new cultivar, semi erect in growth habit, multi stemmed with an abundance of large dark green leaves reaching a height in excess of 100 cm on maturity. Extensive trialling in New Zealand and the United Kingdom has shown Leafmore to be an early maturing variety with a high stem to leaf ratio and superior cold growth habit and frost tolerance.

SOWING AND ESTABLISHMENT
Leafmore is sown at 3-4 kg/ha and broadcasted at 6-8 kg/ha in early spring through until late autumn. Paddock selection is vital and is best sown in a rotation following pasture preferably with no other brassica history for the previous four years to avoid clubroot. Cultivation should result in a fine, firm and weed free seedbed with adequate moisture available for seed germination. Leafmore as with all brassicas require adequate levels of phosphate, there is a risk of seedling damage where large quantities of phosphate have been applied down the spout especially in dry conditions.

GRAZING MANAGEMENT
Leafmore is capable ot excess of 12,000 kg/DM/ha, is able to be grazed 6-8 weeks, regrazing is possible every 4-6 weeks, providing a long term option while retaining high ME values.
