Revel

Annual ryegrass requires strong establishment, good winter growth, and very strong early spring production to suit the farm systems in which it is commonly used.

Sowing date has a huge influence on total production from annual ryegrass with earlier sowing dates enabling genetics to fully express potential production through winter and early spring. Table 1 highlights the later the sowing date the more spring makes up a greater proportion of total growth. Also how important September and October growth potential is for converting to higher yields.

Revel is suited to winter and spring production systems between summer crop rotations or in the north of New Zealand mulch sown into Kikuyu pastures for dairy and cattle systems.
Revel is a resilient tetraploid annual with consistent regrowth potential from every grazing event through winter and spring. While being recognisable as a broad annual ryegrass, Revel has good tiller density for its style, this contributes to the consistency of performance from grazing to early silage cuts.
