[QUOTE="Great In Grass, post: 7139801, member: 79"] [ATTACH type="full"]908100[/ATTACH] [SIZE=7][B]New SRUC Grass and Clover Varieties launch[/B][/SIZE] Barenbrug are delighted to announce the additions of four new varieties to the latest edition of the SRUC Grass and Clover Varieties for Scotland List 2020/2021. With the new additions, Barenbrug have bred 31 of the 1st choice varieties listed. Joining the list are [B]Strangford[/B], an intermediate diploid perennial ryegrass, [B]Ballyvoy[/B], a late diploid perennial ryegrass, [B]Gracehill[/B], a late tetraploid perennial ryegrass and [B]Baronaise[/B], a timothy. Strangford has an REE of 35 and provides large volumes of forage under both conservation and grazing management with a total cutting yield of 109% and Grazing yield of 111%. It is matched with excellent quality. Strangford provides very good early grazing and first cut yields making it a very important variety for Scottish grass and livestock producers.

Gracehill also has an REE of 47 and is a consistent performer for both cutting (101%) and grazing (103%). A first cut yield of 113% and 70D is followed by a 2nd cut of 103% and 73.5D and a 3rd cut of 103%. First cut D value is 70.8 and under grazing, the D value is 76.9.
