annual ryegrass

DIPLOMAT

Fast development and early maturity - excellent for sowing after early harvested cereals
Strong initially formation of biomass guarantees a fast soil coverage and effective weed suppression
Excellent formation of green matter supplies high dry matter yields at the first cut
DIPLOMAT is well suited for sowing as pure seed but also for sowing in annual gras-clover-mixtures
Semi-erect to erect growth and good stability form a good base for excellent fodder quality and low soiling
Enhances soil fertility, stimulates soil life and improves soil structure by supplying organic matter
Root residues stabilize the humus balance and protects the soil against erosion
DIPLOMAT is a diploid and in Northern Germany recommended variety
