Information

• Ultimate proven ley for milk and meat production
• Very productive and flexible 5+ year ley
• 15kg seeding rate for rapid sward density
• This ley includes the very best seasonlong production varieties available
• Suitable for both intensive cutting and grazing, with good persistence
• PROTA WHITE contributes both protein and minerals, to ensure maximum performance from the grazing animal
• The correct proportion of Tetraploids in the ley give very good animal intakes
• Includes FINTONA highly digestible varieties with extremely high yields
• FINTONA is the highest yielding perennial ryegrass ever listed in the UK
• GALGORM holds top position for total yield in both grazing and silage management. No other intermediate diploid variety on the list produces more ME yield per hectare under grazing management (106% of the mean of all intermediate diploid varieties on the list) and is very persistent in grazing swards
• CALLAN combines an excellent mean cutting yield with a high grazing yield and exceptional spring growth. CALLAN excels on all three recommended lists

Designed For

• Top quality forage production whether cut or grazed
• Long-term production from a highly persistent ley
• Maximum production by using the top yielding varieties

Benefits

• The use of later heading varieties means that any topping can be kept to a minimum
• The varieties used have been selected for their persistence as well as their palatability and mid-season digestibility to produce a long lasting, productive sward
• Champion combines the benefits of high yields of quality mid-May silage production, with excellent sward density and outstanding mid-season digestibility for highly palatable grazing, thus creating a highly flexible ley
• Available without clover as Champion No Clover

Sward Management

Cut when the first ears emerge, around the 20th May and this ley will produce grass of 70D plus and if cutting is delayed 10 days, it will still produce grass of 67D. This ley is capable of being spring grazed, giving two highly productive silage crops and an autumn grazing, or alternatively being grazed for a full season.
