Barenbrug BARSPECTRA II Westerwolds is a leafy variety with good spring growth, which provides very high dry matter yields.
Barspectra II has similar growth habits to other Italian ryegrasses, making it ideal for UK use. Delivering excellent resistance to lodging, frost, and disease, Barspectra II is a good choice for farmers that want to extend the growing season in both spring and autumn. Providing very high dry matter yields per hectare, Barspectra II produces a massive first cut but goes on to perform consistently throughout the year, making it suitable for use in multi-cut systems. In terms of nutritional value and palatability, Barspectra II has high digestibility, crude protein content and is rich in soluble sugars.
In trials, significant differences were observed in all aspects of the trial with yield differences reaching over 4t DM/ha. Five cuts of Barspectra were taken over the course of the trial in March, May, June, August, and October – with the May and June cuts accounting for 64.2% of the yield. Where other varieties tailed off after the third cut in June, Barspectra II kept on yielding. Overall, results showed that Barspectra II offered a 9.1% improvement on Bartempo – which performed least well in the trial – with the potential to give 6.89t/ha FRWT more.
