DIPLOID PERENNIAL RYEGRASS
: Lolium perenne

Middini CM142 perennial ryegrass is an early-maturing diploid ryegrass featuring the CM142 novel endophyte. Bred for strong persistence in sheep, beef and dairy environments in regions where the season finishes early. Improved winter and early spring growth provides feed when it is needed, and then leads into an excellent hay production period.
