Greenmount CM142

TETRAPLOID HYBRID RYEGRASS
: Lolium multiflorum x L. boucheanum

Greenmount CM142 is a late-maturing tetraploid hybrid ryegrass featuring CM142 novel endophyte for maximised persistence and olerance to pasture insects. The Italian genetics in Greenmount CM142 result in early vigour and feed production similar to an Italian ryegrass, while the breeding for high tiller density has created a variety with persistence comparable to perennial ryegrass. Ideal for high-performance farming systems where maximum production is required, without sacrificing persistence.
