Proven high yield
Maxsyn NEA4 has proven itself across New Zealand farms to deliver consistently high yield year-round.
Persistence +
Maxsyn with NEA4 endophyte had our top persistence rating. With NEA12 it’s better again. That’s what you get when top endophytes meet strong summer growth and tillering, plus plenty of daughter tillers in spring to thicken pasture
Shines in summer
Warm season growth is Maxsyn’s super-power. If you’ve ever run short of feed in summer, you know how valuable this is. Visually you can see the difference - Maxsyn stays green longer when the heat is on. Maxsyn NEA12 takes this up a notch, with over 5% more summer yield than NEA4.
North Waikato in January. Taranaki in February.
Densely tillered
The more tillers a pasture has, the more robust and persistent it is. Maxsyn is denser than Trojan ryegrass.
Maxsyn has excelled in our breeding and trial programme, particularly on tough sites in the hotter climate of the upper North Island and on difficult soils.
Very persistent
Maxsyn has our top persistence rating, due to several factors including how well it works with NEA4 endophyte, plus its strong summer growth and tillering.
But its persistence advantage starts in spring, as it is easier to graze, which encourages new daughter tillers, thickens the pasture, and helps set it up for summer.
Pest control +
Maxsyn with NEA4 has proven to deliver excellent persistence under moisture stress, heat and insects, sometimes all at once! NEA12 supercharges Maxsyn, providing a greater level of control of more insects including Argentine stem weevil, root aphid, black beetle, root aphid and porina.
Staggers risk
In most cases Maxsyn NEA4 and NEA12 will deliver excellent animal health.
■ NEA4: For dairy cows and beef it provides ryegrass staggers free pasture. For
sheep and deer, there is a very low risk of ryegrass staggers when grazing NEA4
endophyte.
■ NEA12: For dairy cows and beef, we believe it will provide ryegrass staggers free
pasture in nearly every situation. There is a risk of ryegrass staggers in sheep or
lambs if you graze into the base of the pasture in summer dry conditions. NEA12
is not recommended for horses or deer
In all cases ryegrass staggers is much less likely if you sow a pasture mix with high
legume or herb content, or feed supplement as part of the diet.
