Hercules

Hercules is an advanced generation, synthetic tetraploid annual ryegrass derived from crossing clones selected for high forage yield and high seed yield, while exhibiting improved disease resistance. Primary selection criteria included resistance to foliar pathogens such as stem rust, crown rust, leafspot and mildew.

Hercules annual ryegrass is a vigorous, high yielding variety that establishes quickly. It produces a high protein, palatable forage, with a high percentage of digestible nutrients. It is medium maturing, exhibiting good winter hardiness and excellent grazing/cutting recovery rates.

Hercules is part of our Pinpoint™ family of products.

Hercules is ideally suited to seeding tilled soil, but performs very well in an overseeding program. With excellent germination and seedling vigor, overseeding pastures or range with 20 to 30 lbs. per acre will result in lush, palatable forage when proper moisture and fertility levels are met.
