Early spring growth

A mid flowering, densely tillered, diploid perennial ryegrass offering early spring production and rust tolerance. Bred specifically to replace Kingston, Kingsgate SE has excellent low aftermath heading (a trait not common in early and mid-heading perennial ryegrasses). Best suited to beef and sheep grazing, Kingsgate performs well in low fertility areas and marginal country.

Due to Kingsgate containing Standard endophyte (SE), it does require careful grazing management, particularly during drier times of the year when the possibility of ryegrass staggers is increased

Sowing rate (sole): 20-25kg/ha
Sowing rate (mixed): 15-20kg/ha

Rainfall

Minimum 600mm rainfall per annum unless irrigated
