It will provide moderate levels of herbage production during the winter period, followed by exceptional spring and summer production, due to its ability to access sub-soil moisture.
The multiple pest and disease resistances, coupled with excellent persistence and adaptability, make it an excellent choice for either irrigated or dryland situations.
