Performance Data

ONE50 is a cross of elite genetics from New Zealand and north-west Spanish origin. It was bred using individual plants that were screened in the pest and rust-prone north of New Zealand. ONE50 is a late heading diploid perennial ryegrass of medium leaf and tiller size with great production.

ONE50 is one of the most trialled and widely sown cultivars in New Zealand with ONE50 AR37 being in over 36 individual national trials to date and ONE50 AR1 trialled in over 24 trials. This level of trialling creates confidence that the results reported today won’t change greatly in the near future. ONE50 maintains leafy quality pastures well into late November while its production advantages are particularly strong in summer and autumn.
