San Remo

DIPLOID PERENNIAL RYEGRASS
: Lolium perenne

San Remo diploid perennial ryegrass resolves a longstanding issue by producing good winter production even with its late heading nature. San Remo, as a late-producing variety, extends the period of high-energy and protein-rich pasture into late spring by nearly one month. This extension results in significant boosts in animal production.
