A Winterhardy, High-Yielding Diploid Annual Ryegrass
According to multiple years of data out of Scottsbluff, NE, Ed diploid annual ryegrass is a good choice for those needing a winter-hardy annual ryegrass. While most annual ryegrass data is gathered from southern states, this trial helps show how a variety might do under more severe temperatures. Ed was tested for four subsequent years between 2002-06, where the variety exhibited consistently high survivability and excellent yields. (By the way, if you aren’t familiar with Scottsbluff, look at the adjacent climate graph.) This data extends our confidence in Ed’s ability to give top yields, and winter survivability throughout the country. Find more data at www. SmithSeed.com, or contact us directly.
Two Tetraploids Available
Two of our newest Tetraploid Annual Ryegrasses are now available - Attain and Verdure. Both varieties have exhibited excellent yields, and improved diseases resistance. Extensive trial results on both are available on our website and on Technical Sheet. Regional distributorships on both are also available in selected areas.
