Maximo (06 B Lh) Tetraploid Intermediate Ryegrass (Lolium hybridum) combines the rapid establishment of an annual ryegrass with the persistence of a perennial. High quality, high tonnage forage makes Maximo the perfect choice whether for hay or grazing.
Key features
- Excellent short-term pasture
- More productive than perennial rye the first two years
- Intermediate maturity
- High quality, high tonnage forage
- Excellent winter hardiness compared to annual ryegrass
