Max 4N

Forage First Max 4N Italian Ryegrass is a high-performance forage solution specifically designed for the Upper Midwest and Northeast regions of the United States and Canada. This tetraploid variety is notable for its high vernalization requirement, ensuring that it does not head during the year of seeding. As a result, Max 4N offers exceptional winter hardiness, producing a substantial forage crop in early spring following the initial sowing, making it an ideal choice for emergency forage or as a green manure crop. Farmers appreciate Max 4N for its proven performance, consistently delivering top yields that exceed 108% of check varieties. Additionally, this ryegrass boasts improved disease resistance, ensuring a robust and healthy crop throughout its growth cycle.
