Sheep + Beef Mixes

Elite AR37

Elite AR37

Elite AR37 - sheep & beef - is the mainstay of developed sheep and beef systems. It produces maximum drymatter production and persistence in a spring-based sheep and beef system.


It produces very high pasture production on a long term basis with consistent performance over a wide range of environments and management. Other benefits include increased autumn recovery, tolerance to periods of set stocking, and good tolerance to leaf disease.


Elite AR37 - sheep and beef - can be widely adapted over New Zealand, with a recommended environment of Olsen P >20, pH >5.7, rainfall > 750mm.

Florish AR1

Florish AR1

Flourish AR1 gives maximum quality for growing young stock over a period of four to five years. This mix is not suitable for areas that will be set stocked for long periods or overgrazed.


This mix gives the benefits of palatability, high clover compatibility, reduced summer stem production, and high levels of cool season production.


It is best suited to areas of good drainage, good subdivision and soil with an ability to hold moisture into the summer, with a recommended environment of Olsen P > 20, pH >5.8, rainfall > 850 mm.

Presto

Presto

Presto is most suitable for a period of 12 -24 months, focused on autumn, winter and spring production. It is a speciality mix to be used as a break for converting poor quality pasture and as a high yielding cool season producer in summer dry environments. Heat, summer dry, low fertility and insect pressure can reduce persistence into the second year.


Its benefits are rapid establishment, high winter growth rates and a tolerance of high and low residual grazing. Sow early for maximum winter yield.


Presto performs at its best in high Nitrogen soils with a recommended environment of Olsen P >18, pH >5.7.

Universal AR1

Universal AR1

Universal AR1 is a perennial option for sheep and beef, horse and deer systems, with no risk of ryegrass staggers. Volunteer plants may still cause ryegrass staggers over time.


It produces a traditional growth curve to suit spring breeding systems and is able to tolerate periods of set stocking. It will perform under both high and low residual grazing and has good tolerance to leaf disease.


Universal AR1 can be widely adapted over New Zealand, with a recommended environment of Olsen P >20, pH >5.7, rainfall > 800mm.
