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 suitable as an 8-12 month high performance crop; can last 2-3 years in areas with mild summers, or can be used for undersowing into run out pasture to boost winter-spring growth. In dense pastures, spraying before drilling is recommended. Note: Where a pasture is required for 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 4t DM/ha over Moata as a 12 month crop. For an extra seed cost (e.g. $60/ha) for Tabu+, that equates to over 2000% ROI, given this extra feed is valued at about $0.40/kg DM or an extra +$1600/ha operating profit (value calculated from the DairyNZ FVI).
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 pastures.
