A strategic investment this autumn
RGT Sultan directly addresses practical challenges faced by farmers. As a diploid, it delivers a denser crop with more seeds per hectare compared to tetraploids, along with a higher number of tillers per plant. This improves pasture competitiveness against weeds and boosts resilience.
Pasture density is especially important during the winter months. When density declines, fewer plants are available to regrow for the next grazing, reducing yield and carrying capacity. This can put you at a disadvantage in late winter and early spring, when feed is limited, and stock performance may suffer.
The increased plant and tiller numbers of RGT Sultan also reduce bare ground, helping to minimise the risk of mud during winter grazing. With less pasture damage from pugging, recovery is faster, and there’s potential for increased overall yield. Additionally, the enhanced growth helps utilise nitrogen from urine, reducing the risk of nitrogen leaching.
By choosing RGT Sultan, you can save up to $56* per hectare compared to tetraploid annual ryegrass. This provides access to high-quality, proprietary seed without compromising performance – a critical consideration in a market filled with uncertified or Variety Not Specified (VNS) seed which may introduce weeds onto your property.
RGT Sultan is a strategic investment for farmers this autumn, particularly for those looking to optimise operations in a cost-effective, practical, and sustainable way. The benefits are clear: more seed per dollar spent, a denser and more resilient crop, reduced muddy areas, faster regrowth, and improved nitrogen utilisation.
As the only proprietary diploid ryegrass available on the market, RGT Sultan offers a distinct advantage.
