The first tetraploid Italian ryegrasss available with AR37 endophyte

Lush AR37 is the perfect fit for pastures in areas that experience high insect pressure, particularly African Black Beetle. AR37 endophyte has clearly demonstrated a superior level of protection against a number of damaging pasture pests in Australia. Lush AR37 is a southern favourite that is making its way up north. It is quick to establish, has exceptional rust tolerance and provides quality feed into summer, especially under favourable conditions.
