Roper Perennial Ryegrass
Roper Perennial Ryegrass can work as an annual or perennial!
Roper perennial ryegrass has been bred from an early flowering Australian perennial ryegrass collection that exhibits very good dry matter production over a range of soil types and management systems within Western Australia.
Roper, can be used in a range of grazing systems. In dryland pastures where other varieties won’t survive as a perennial i.e., North of line through Donnybrook, Roper can be managed like an annual offering the opportunity to have a reseeding pasture that given the right conditions may persist over a number of years.
Roper ryegrass attributes:
- High seedling vigour due to 133% more root development than other perennial ryegrass varieties 62 days after sowing. (refer graph below)
- Increased root depth will reduce plant pulling.
Ability to reseed under a range of conditions and suited to a wide range of soil types.
