Magnum has increased palatability due to its Tetraploid nature (Parentage 75% Annual, 25% perennial). Its open growth habit makes it suitable in a mix with companion clovers. Magnum can persist for two to three years in summer mild areas but is better utilised as an annual oversown into existing pastures to boost winter growth and increase quality of pasture available to grazing livestock. Magnum is a high producing hybrid ryegrass with rapid, aggressive establishment, an excellent autumn through to summer production and outstanding winter activity. High palatability and later flowering characteristics with high levels of water soluble carbohydrates ensures quality feed, high metabolisable energy is maintained throughout the growing period to drive livestock performance.
