Tabu+

Diploid italian ryegrass

Tabu+ is a record-breaker, with explosive establishment speed and superior cool season growth, plus stock love it. It's the Italian ryegrass that is unbeaten in the NFVT Italian ryegrass summary for winter yield, plus it is rated 5-stars in the Forage Value Index for winter feed nationwide.

Tabu+ was bred to supersede the best selling Tabu, with significantly higher total DM yield. Tabu+ is nutritious, with explosive establishment speed and superior cool season growth.

 

Multi-use

Tabu+ is Mr Adaptable. Sow it as an 8-12 month high performance crop; grow happy animals for 2-3 years in areas with mild summers, or undersow into run out pasture to boost winter and spring growth. For best results undersowing dense pastures, spray before drilling. Note: If you need pasture to last 2-3 years Shogun NEA12 may be a better option.

 

High winter yield

Tabu+ is the top yielding Italian ryegrass in the National Forage Variety Trials (NFVT) 12
month pasture summary, for winter growth.

 

 

2000% ROI

Tabu+ produced an extra 4 t DM/ha over Moata as a 12 month crop. For an extra seed cost of about $60/ha, Tabu+ returned over 2000% on investment! That’s because this extra feed is valued at about $0.40/kg DM or +$1600/ha.

 

Soaks up winter N

The more winter growth on your farm, the more nitrogen you capture before it leaves the soil. Tabu+ hits its peak in May-August, and its super-fast cool season growth pulls up more nitrogen than slower growing pasture.

Italian & annual

Italians are fast establishing with good winter growth and feed quality. Mainly used for short term winter crop, 2-3 year pasture under summer mild condtions, or undersowing into run out pasture to boost growth. 

Annuals are generally used for 6-8 month winter crop prior to sowing a summer crop. Similar winter growth to Italian ryegrass but generally have little persistence.
