Crusader is a late maturing, diploid biennial ryegrass. It has high tiller density, excellent heat tolerance and extraordinary regrowth. This translates to dense, fast growing, high quality grazing and hay production.
In mild climates, fall planted Crusader will grow through the winter and continue into spring for extended grazing and silage production.
Crusader has an established reputation as the complementary grass to existing alfalfa production in the Intermountain and Great Basin irrigated hay regions.
An over seeding of Crusader into irrigated pasture is a simple, cost effective and valuable solution to maintaining feed quality.
