As a cross between a turnip and a forage rape, Hunter is a quick growing, leafy turnip with minimal bulb development. Fast maturing, Hunter provides high quality, quick forage, and produces high liveweight gains in beef and sheep. Selected for its vigorous regrowth, Hunter recovers fast and produces strong yields.
Hunter is a great option for early autumn feed. Hunter usually shows good resistance to most Clubroot races, but is susceptible to Aphids. Hunter is best suited to heavier soil conditions with periodic summer moisture or irrigation.
