Spark forage oats has full leaf rust resistance*, delivers strong forage performance, high dry matter yields and strong regrowth. Suited to be sown alongside Ignite, Spark offers a later maturity, extending the grazing window once Ignite has been grazed/cut and helping to extend feed supply through the season.
As a late maturing oat, Spark produces more vegetative growth, more feed and provides harvest flexibility in regions with a long growing season.
*Full leaf rust resistance to all known pathotypes (based on testing performed by University of Sydney – Cobbitty, NSW).
