Easy to eat
Array is the diploid perennial ryegrass hard-working cows have been hoping for. Upright, leafy and densely tillered, it’s customised for easy eating and high intake.
Chomping through thousands of bites every day demands a lot of physical energy! Array takes some of the effort out of this process, because it stands tall and dense, literally puts itself closer to those hungry mouths.
Animals will naturally eat more as a result, and have more time to relax, ruminate and produce meat or milk.
Great cool season growth
Array has the best cool season growth of any perennial ryegrass Barenbrug has bred.
That helps fill the gap when feed is short and makes farms more resilient so they can adapt to shifting climatic patterns.
Very persistent
Array NEA2 has Barenbrug’s highest ranking for pasture persistence. It’s as good as Maxsyn NEA4.
Eats N for breakfast
In trials, Array has grown significantly more feed under low N conditions than other ryegrass cultivars.
What does this mean on farm?
First, more even pasture growth at times when soil nitrogen is deficient, something that happens on virtually every farm at some stage during the year. Second, a win for the environment, because this provides the potential to utilise nitrogen more efficiently.
