The FVI 2026 top performer that raises the standard of ryegrass rust resistance and performance

Combining the latest in ryegrass breeding to deliver year round, dense growth, Align AR37 tetraploid perennial ryegrass sets a new performance benchmark for quality and reliability. Producing an extremely dense pasture for a tetraploid, Align AR37 delivers strong persistence, resulting in the highest overall dry matter production in the DLF Seeds tetraploid ryegrass portfolio.

As one of the latest innovations in ryegrass breeding, Align AR37 is bred for performance and low aftermath heading, creating a vegetative and high value forage that lasts longer. Extremely rust tolerant, Align is a strong and resilient plant that maintains its nutritional value and high dry matter production throughout the seasons. As a reliable high performer, Align AR37 maintains a high forage quality through summer and into autumn for consistent yields, hay and silage when feed is needed most. For a productive and resilient tetraploid, sow Align AR37 for performance, reliability and AR37 insect protection.

Align AR37 is setting a new benchmark for perennial ryegrass performance in Australia, landing at the top of Dairy Australia’s 2026 Forage Value Index (FVI) and signalling a shift in what farmers can expect from modern tetraploid cultivars. For dairy producers looking to squeeze more value out of every hectare, the FVI remains one of the industry’s most trusted tools.
