Description

FORAGE PRODUCTION

The combination of these two top-ranking tetraploid and diploid annual ryegrass varieties gives Heavyweight Blend numerous

advantages in forage production over any one by itself:

•  High tonnage production that will top the charts for the early season all the way through maturity.

•  Greater cold tolerance of the diploid variety, combined with the earlier heavy production of the tetraploid.

 FORAGE QUALITY

Heavyweight Blend creates the perfect balance for dry matter production and high grade feed.  Heavyweight will also cure faster for silage purposes than any straight tetraploid annual ryegrass.

Heavyweight Blend increases animal performance, due to the increased ratio of cell content to cell wall in the tetraploid plant.  This makes it more palatable, which increases

Consumption, leading to an increase in animal production and performance.

Another advantage of Heavyweight Blend  is the increased amount of available sugars and starches, which are necessary for more efficient rumen function.
