Almonta CM142 perennial ryegrass is a high performance, late-heading, diploid variety bred to maximise seasonal pasture growth and quality. It has been bred to have high tiller density and tiller production, resulting in very good tolerance to grazing in dry or wet conditions. Almonta contains CM142 endophyte to improve tolerance to selected pasture insects therefore maximising persistence.
