CREATE WORLD-CLASS QUALITY PASTURES

New Zealand has the world’s best temperate zone pasture seed development and breeding programmes whereby new varieties are being developed constantly and released annually. The source varieties are selected from all over the world and bred in the New Zealand breeding programmes to develop new innovative materials. The programmes are also developing endophytes together with pest resistance and drought tolerance in pastures and new innovations are regularly occurring in these areas.

In the pasture based system pastures are used as a natural and complete animal feed to replace expensive concentrate and pre-mix rations – thus reducing dramatically the cost of production.

All seed is certified to ISTA requirements and supplied with purity and germination information.

ryegrass.jpgSpecies:Rye GrassDescription:Perennial ryegrass mixed with clover, is the most common pasture on New Zealand farms. Its main advantage is its ability to keep growing over many years. As well as this we supply Italian Ryegrass which are erect and large-leafed producing a large amount of high-quality forage for a shorter rotation and Hybrid ryegrasses which combine the best features of perennial and Italian ryegrasses. clover_1.jpgSpecies:CloverDescription:White clover is New Zealand’s most important pasture plant, due to its nitrogen-fixing abilities longevity, and palatability. Clovers are sown throughout the country. Red clover has a red flower and is slower to flower than white clover. It can last up to seven years under favourable conditions.endophyte.jpgSpecies:EndophyteDescription:Endophyte is a naturally occurring fungus whose complete life cycle occurs within grasses. Plant breeders have developed different strains of these endophyte species to help resist insect attack from insects such as Argentine Stem Weevil and Black beetle, and also reduce adverse animal effects such as staggers and heat stress.tall_fescue.jpgSpecies:Tall FescueDescription:Tall fescue is a deep-rooted grass that tolerates heat and drought. It also withstands acid, alkaline and saline soils with poor drainage, and is becoming a popular alternative to ryegrass in drier regions. The newly developed tall fescues are very palatable and the problems of ‘fescue foot’ have been eliminated.cocksfoot.jpgSpecies:CocksfootDescription:Cocksfoot is a hardy, drought-tolerant grass, which grows strongly during summer because of its deep roots. It is a useful addition to a pasture mix especially in dryer areas.herbs.jpgSpecies:HerbsDescription:Livestock like, and benefit from, eating herbs such as Chicory and Plantain, so New Zealand pasture-plant breeders have selected improved types of these two perennial herbs for grazing. These herbs supply nutrients and minerals from the soil very efficiently and are highly palatable to the animal. They can be sown as a pure sward or as part of a mix.brassica.jpgSpecies:BrassicaDescription:Brassicas such as Kale, Rape, Turnips, Swedes and Fodder Beet for example are used as forage crops to provide farmers with a large amount of high quality feed (high in energy and protein) for their stock as specialist summer feed or maintenance winter feed. They provide an efficient and rapid solution to out-of-season feeding with good financial benefits to the producer – reducing the need to purchase high cost concentrate feed.tropical_grass.jpgSpecies:Tropical PasturesDescription:We are also able to source tropical grasses and legumes from Australia suppliers. These grasses have been selected and bred to perform well in the tropical dairy production cycle.
