Lolium perenne
Max
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. Maximo is an excellent short term pasture (2–3 years) that is more productive than perennial ryegrass in the first two years. Maximo has excellent winterhardiness compared to annual ryegrass and intermediate maturity
Key features
- High-quality tetraploid intermediate ryegrass
