Kiama tetraploid annual ryegrass is an outstanding new variety for maximising production and profitability. It has an unusually high tiller density and fine leaf for a tetraploid ryegrass, which enables Kiama to recover better after grazing and extend production throughout spring. The late heading date of Kiama allows it to maintain high value feed into late spring, for better stock performance and quality of silage.
