Manta demonstrates exceptional establishment speed and rapid early growth that supports the production of quality feed ahead of winter.
Due to its strong cool season performance and excellent spring yield, Manta is very high yielding diploid, that provides increased forage production for meat, milk and conserved feed. It has been trialled, tested and commercialised in Australia under local conditions.
Sowing rate (sole): 20-35kg/ha
Sowing rate (mixed): 15-25kg/ha
In this video, Michael Grant and Martin Harmer from DLF Seeds introduce Manta, the latest diploid Italian ryegrass from Agricom. You will find key features of Manta and how it benefits your farm systems.
Minimum 600mm rainfall per annum unless irrigated
On advice from Nathan at DLF Seeds we decided to give Manta ryegrass a try in some of our paddocks (after using Nourish for years). Manta was planted at the end of April and despite a wet year it was very quick to get going and establish, so much so it out competed our Kikuyu. We have had multiple grazing’s on it so far. Once we got into spring we have been on 18 day grazing rotations and it’s still going strong. Our pastures have also benefited from the inclusion of Ecotain environmental plantain and Amigain red clover. We will definitely be using Manta on our farm again next year.
