Attributes

Meadow Green is well adapted throughout regions where climatic conditions get humid and cool at points in the year. Meadow Green was selected for it’s quick early vigor and its disease and salt tolerance. Meadow Green can provide excellent yields and nutritional value and is adapted to wide range of climates and soil types.

Growth Habitat

With Meadow Green’s excellent early vigor, it can establish very quickly. Meadow Green is an improved festulolium that can grow very well in cool damp regions while having the disease resistance necessary to grow in regions of high humidity.

Plant Characteristics

Meadow Green is a tetraploid festulolium, which is a cross between meadow fescue and several tetraploid Italian ryegrasses. It is a prolific forage producer with very high total digestible nutrients. Meadow Green takes the best traits of fescue and Italian ryegrass—it is highly palatable, high yielding, and has great nutritional levels, while being susceptible to the stresses that fescues can tolerate.

Attributes

Spring Green is well adapted throughout regions where climatic conditions get humid and cool at points in the year; However, due to Spring Green’s deep and robust root system it can tolerate a wide range of climatic stresses after establishment such as heat, drought and cold. Spring Green also contains excellent disease resistance

Growth Habitat

Spring Green is fast germinate which allows for it to establish very quickly. Spring Green has a deep robust root system that is strong and once established helps to produce a healthier plant that tolerates environmental stresses.

Plant Characteristics

It is a tetraploid festulolium, which is a cross between fescue and tetraploid ryegrass. It is a long-lived perennial with a strong and deep root system. It is a prolific forage producer with very high total digestible nutrients. Spring Green takes the best traits of fescue and ryegrass—it is highly palatable, high yielding, and has great nutritional levels, while being susceptible to the stresses that fescues can tolerate.

Attributes

TetraGain is a new tetraploid perennial ryegrass released by Pure-Seed Testing, in Canby, Oregon. Originally selected in Belarus, TetraGain is extremely productive under cool and damp climates. Later screened for yield, disease resistance, and forage value, TetraGain is proving to be an exceptional variety.

Fertility

TetraGain is one of the easiest grasses to establish. It may be sown on clean-burned stubble, prepared or unprepared seedbed. TetraGain will tolerate wetter soil conditions.

Attributes

Cowgirl is a very durable forage grass with a wide range of tolerances to climate and environments. It is both cold tolerant and extremely drought tolerant as it was selected in North Carolina during the severe drought of 2000. Cowgirl was developed and proven to have high forage quality and resistance to environmental stresses along with disease and pest resistance.

Growth Habitat

Cowgirl is widely adapted to different climates and soil types. It’s a long-lived perennial that is low maintenance. Cowgirl is a bunch type, soft leaved, forage tall fescue that is extremely growthy and produces high foliage content and can reach 48 inches in height. Cowgirl is incredibly deep rooted allowing it to survives under drastic conditions.

Plant Characteristics

Cowgirl is one of the few forage tall fescues that is in the “soft leaved” class and considered to be very palatable and because of its low lignin it produces very TDN. Crude protein depends on the environment in which it is being grown.

Attributes

Giant is broadly adapted to a wide range of soil and weather conditions. It thrives in cool moist habitats and is best adapted to the northern states but has been successfully established in a wide range of climatic conditions, especially with management and irrigation. Giant is best adapted to mesic to semi-hydric soils, and is well suited to areas receiving 18 to 40+ inches mean annual precipitation. Giant is tolerant of poorly drained and sub irrigated sites and sites that are frequently flooded, and it is adapted to soils with a pH of 4.5 to 8.0. Giant also has a high tolerance to salinity.

Plant Characteristics

Giant is a fast establishing, high nutritious and highly palatably, soft leaved forage bentgrass. It develops both stolons and rhizomes which produces a dense rooting system that tolerates heavy traffic and very close grazing. Giant produces excellent yield results under extreme stress and has very good sward density due to its extensive rhizomes and stolons. In the non-irrigated trial station at Brookings, South Dakota, GIANT out-yielded entries for bromegrass, orchardgrass, timothy and perennial ryegrass. GIANT is a salt tolerant variety, surviving for six weeks in a salt bath containing 17,000ppm salt (NaCl).

Attributes

Emarwan is broadly adapted to a wide range of soil and climatic conditions. It grows best on well-drained loamy soils, but it will also grow on soil that is not as well-drained. Medium and fine textured soils are preferred by the plant over sandy or gravelly soils. It is widely adapted to soil pH between 5.5 – 7.6.

Growth Habitat

Emarwan may be seeded in pure stands, but it is often mixed with grain or grass. Spring or late summer seedings are satisfactory. It may be overseeded in the spring on fall seeded grasses. Emarwan seed should be inoculated. Phosphorus and potash are the fertilizer elements needed mostly by red clover. Apply as recommended by soil tests. Seeding may be done with a drill or broadcast. A firm, weed-free seedbed is essential. Plant seeds ¼ to ½ inch deep.

Plant Characteristics

Graze or cut for hay when the Emarwan is ¼ to ½ in bloom. A second cutting or successive grazings should occur when red clover is ¼ in bloom. Leave at least 2 inches of growth after each harvest.

Attributes

Is a Kentucky bluegrass for forage use with good overall disease resistance, early spring green up and good winter growth. It has the ability to recover from drought or winter damage from underground rhizomes. The palatability is great making it a preferred forage for horses, sheep and cattle. This species is ideal to blend with other more aggressive forages as it can compete well with other species of cool season grasses.

PST-2COW is an intermediate ryegrass with a medium maturity, good spring green growth and overall disease resistance, including leaf scald, leaf spot and stem rust resistance. It is a great component to use in mixtures with tall fescue, perennial ryegrass and festulolium varieties.
