Shogun NEA

Shogun is a late flowering tetraploid long rotation (perennial type hybrid) ryegrass which provides autumn, late-spring and summer production, along with very good winter and early spring growth. 
The NEA endophyte contributes to its ability to persist under harsh conditions resulting in a reliable 3–4 years of production under normal conditions.

Key features

• Late flowering tetraploid hybrid ryegrass  (+26 days, Bealey +25)
• Very strong establishment vigour
• High autumn, winter, late-spring and summer yields
• High total forage yields
• Improved persistence over other hybrid ryegrasses
• Good rust resistance
• NEA endophyte - safe for cattle and sheep, while providing improved insect resistance

Benefits of sowing Shogun NEA

• Combines high winter growth and good summer production with quality
• Grow more home-grown feed per ha with Shogun high-performing ryegrass
• Ideal for oversowing into run-down perennial ryegrass stands to extend the pastures productive lifespan
• Faster to establish than perennial ryegrass

Performance

Shogun has strong establishment similar to an Italian ryegrass and well ahead of other hybrid ryegrasses, including Barberia in most cases.
Autumn, late spring and summer growth is generally higher than both hybrid and Italian comparators and winter and early spring production is ahead of other hybrids with the exception of Barberia.
Shogun eclipses all other hybrids on the market for total forage yield and also winter-growth to deliver more-feed when you need it most.
