Description Type: Annual Ryegrass Height: 4 feet Usage: Hay, Pasture Seeding Rate: 25-30 lb / acre Plant: Sept – Nov 10 Marshall is susceptible to rust Diploid varieties (Marshall): more dense and with a thicker lower ground cover Tetraploid varieties (see our Abundant Ryegrass) are more palatable *have a slightly higher yield *are more winter hardy under snow * are more resistant to rust and other diseases * are more broad-leaved and with an open growth * fits perfect in mixtures with clover Recent research has shown that most tetraploids outperformed diploids for grazing utilization. This improved utilization and intake will improve the yield of both milk and meat.
