Lolium multiflorum
Triangle T
Triangle T tetraploid annual ryegrass is the result of crossing TAMTBO and Prine ryegrasses with a selection taken from a VNS production field in Oregon. Excellent seedling vigor, fast establishment, and greater numbers of reproduction and vegetative tillers characterize Triangle T. Tested throughout the Southern US, Triangle T shows excellent forage yields with good crown rust resistance.
Key features
- Excellent forage yields
- Fast establishment
- Good crown rust resistance
- Excellent seedling vigor
- High palatability
