New Ryegrasses for 2010
Halo Tetraploid Ryegrass & Ultra AR1 Ryegrass are two new ryegrasses that Specialty Seeds offer as high performing persistent and long term options for various farming situations on New Zealands farms.
Halo AR37 Tetraploid Perennial Ryegrass:
Halo has very strong winter growth, heat tolerance, summer production and persistence.
Halo was commercially released last year and has been by far our most popular ryegrass sold throughout the North Island. Halo is the first Tetraploid ryegrass available with AR37 Endophyte. If you would like some more information on Halo ryegrass please

Ultra AR1 Enhanced Perennial Ryegrass:
Cool season growth with late season quality.

AR37 Ryegrass Endophyte
Ryegrasses with AR37 endophyte provide the highest resistance commercially available
AR37 provides resistance against five of the main pasture pests in New Zealand pastures (Argentine Stem Weevil, Porina, Mealy Bug, Root Aphid, Adult Black Beetle). Ryegrass with AR37 has better persistence; and yields on average 12% more drymatter nationally than the same cultivar with standard endophyte. Please note: There are currently only a handful of ryegrasses that have AR37 bred into them so if you would like some more information on AR37 ryegrasses please
