Kale

Kale is generally sown in spring as a single graze winter crop. Taller, high yielding cultivars are best suited to cattle grazing, whereas shorter, leafier kales are more best suited to sheep and deer.

Coleor - Leafy, with a medium stem height and good winter hardiness. Coleor has distinctive purple leaves.

Corsa - Giant type with a high leaf-to-stem ratio.

Gruner - A high yielding giant type with good frost and aphid tolerance. Stems may be thick and fibrous.

Kestrel - Medium type with excellent leaf-to-stem ratio and good late winter leafiness. Lower yielding.

Proteor - Intermediate stem height with high leaf to stem ratio and good winter hardiness.

Regal - Intermediate height and high yielding.

Sovereign - Intermediate height, late flowering with a thin stem.

SovGold - Late flowering kale with very high leaf yield.


rape

Rape is a fast maturing crop with a high nutritive value. Typically, rape can be first grazed after about 70-110 days when sown from September - November. As a winter crop, rape is generally ready to be grazed 80-120 days after sowing between November - February.

Ember

Goliath - A high yielding, giant type rape x kale hybrid. Superior regrowth for multi-graze potential.

Greenland - An early maturing, leafy type with a medium height. Very late flowering and suitable for a range of environments. Good aphid tolerance.

Interval - A tall, fast establishing rape with high DM yields. Good tolerance to dry conditions and frost, and is ideal for summer, autumn and winter feeds.

Mainstar - An early maturing rape with excellent regrowth potential and good frost tolerance. Very good aphid tolerance.

Pillar - A multi-graze giant-type with good regrowth potential. Pillar is fast establishing, and has good aphid tolerance and disease resistance. Suitable for sheep, cattle and deer and can be sown in spring or autumn.

Spitfire - A multi-purpose intermediate height rape that’s late maturing. Spitfire is suitable for summer, autumn and early winter feeding. Excellent aphid tolerance.

Titan - A high-yielding rape x kale hybrid. Titan is a multi-graze, intermediate height rape with excellent re-growth potential. It’s suitable for summer, autumn and winter feed and has very good aphid and virus tolerance.

Vixen

Winfred - A versatile rape suitable for a wide range of soil fertility and environmental conditions. Can be either spring and/or late-summer sown.


Leafy Turnips

Forage brassicas are a cross between turnips and other brassicas resulting in a fast establishing leafy turnip with minimal bulb development.

Hunter - Hunter recovers from grazing quickly, has excellent subsequent yields and good plant survival through multiple grazings. Strong tolerance to turnip mosaic virus and cauliflower mosaic virus. Sowing rate 4 kg/ha.

Pasja II - A fast-establishing, flexible grazing option for all stock classes over summer and autumn. Pasja II has very good plant persistence after multiple grazings. Sowing rate 4 kg/ha.

Pacer - A versatile and fast establishing leafy turnip with non-bolting characteristics. Pacer is quick to recover offering multiple grazings of quality summer feed. Best suited to medium-high fertility soils with summer moisture Suitable for all stock types. Sowing rate: 3-5kg/ha.


Summer Turnip Cultivars:

Barkant - A very high yielding turnip with a tankard bulb shape to reduce the risk of choke. Barkant has high levels of protein due to the high leaf-to-bulb ratio. Sowing Rate 3 kg/ha.

Dynamo - A high yielding and early maturing cultivar that’s perfect for dairy cows. Dynamo offers quality summer feed and has a good level of bulb (around 48% of total yield). Sowing rate 2-3kg/ha.

Marco - Sowing rate 3kg/ha.

Rival - An early-maturing tankard-shaped bulb turnip.

Winter Turnip Cultivars:

Appin - A flexible, multi-graze leafy turnip that’s a good option for quick winter feed. Appins tops and bulbs are palatable for sheep and cattle, and can be re-grazed in 30 days if the initial grazing is well managed. Sowing Rate: 1kg/HA.

Green Globe - A late maturing (90-120 days to grazing), multi purpose turnip that can be sown for grazing in summer, autumn and winter. Sowing rate 2 kg/ha.

New York - A medium maturing, oval bulbed diploid turnip with white flesh and purple skin. Time to first grazing is 16 weeks when sown from late October to early November or 18-20 weeks when sown from January to February.

G2 - A later maturing (110+ days) round globe diploid turnip with green skin and white flesh. Sowing rate 800g-1.5kg/ha.
