[QUOTE="sheepdogtrail, post: 8196711, member: 151839"] I would agree. Irrigation works as well. Diploids in the PRG family are susceptible to heat and drought. However, they are all tolerate of heat and drought. It is difficult to kill a PRG from lack of water and heat along. It will go dormant. That is the nature of the line. Some lines are better than others in dealing with that in that they prolong the reproductive phase of the plant by as much as three weeks. Tetraploids are the other side of the genetic line of PRG which can tolerate heat and drought much better, extending the grazing season by months in some locations. Tetraploids store about 1/3 more water than Diploids. The result is less DM/bite from a Tetraploid. After many years of using both in my paddocks I still do not know what the right combination of the two types for me is. Seems each year is a little different. But with 30% Tetraploids and 70% Diploids, along with red / white clovers and pasture herbs, I know that I can have high quality forage year round in my location. [/QUOTE]
