BARMULTRA annual ryegrass is a 50 clone synthetic variety developed by Barenbrug Holland.  A true Italian ryegrass, with little or no heading in the summer following spring sowing, BARMULTRA is excellent for all intended purposes for annual ryegrass, especially green chop and silage production.

BARMULTRA is a tetraploid variety, with the subsequent increase in digestibility and total nutrient content.  It is a wide-leaved, dark green variety, with excellent palatability.  It establishes very quickly, helping hold the soil in adverse conditions.  This makes BARMULTRA excellent for those areas where erosion control is very important.

BARMULTRA may be planted in the fall in regions with relatively mild winter temperatures.  Late winter and spring growth is excellent, with good yields and fair frost tolerance.  BARMULTRA especially shines when spring planted in northern climates, with explosive spring and early summer growth.  BARMULTRA has excellent regrowth capabilities, giving multiple cuts of palatable forage with high relative feed values.  BARMULTRA is also very persistent in those regions with milder temperatures.
