Rocket is a tetraploid annual ryegrass selected under intensive Australian grazing conditions. Rocket establishes quickly with explosive emergence in both broadcast and sown situations and in trials has been one of the highest winter producing tetraploid annual varieties. It has good rust resistance and will provide an extra grazing over Tetila with Rocket’s later maturity. Rocket shows high sugar, protein and water content making it nutritious and palatable to all classes of livestock, increasing voluntary animal intake, excelling animal performance - ultimately increasing productivity with Rocket.
