Lolium perenne

Tamtbo

Tamtbo

TAMTBO was developed in collaboration with OreGro Research and Dr. Lloyd Nelson of Texas A&M. Selected for superior forage yield, crown rust resistance and frost tolerance, TAMTBO is vigorous with consistent dry matter yields. TAMTBO is an excellent choice for overseeding Southern pastures, or for inclusion as a fast establishing grass in pasture mixes.
