Ohau is a unique tetraploid perennial ryegrass. It has 75% perennial and 25% Italian ryegrass genetics, which results in greater cool season productivity.
Ohau is mid to late season heading and produces large volumes of high quality forage. When combined with the tetraploid features of high soluble carbohydrates and rapid digestibility, this results in greater animal performance.
Fall planted Ohau has winter growth and subsequent strong early spring activity, allowing for a baleage crop in February.
Ohau is an ideal medium term silage due to the combination of high feed quality, fewer seed heads and good palatability that drives animal productivity.
Ohau is best suited to rotational grazing and when combined with high rainfall, or irrigation and moderate to high fertility, both grass and animal production will be maximized.
