Stressless

New Zealand pastures are facing increasing pressure from heat, dry periods and unpredictable rainfall. These conditions can reduce growth, lower feed quality, thin desirable species and allow less productive plants to take hold. The result is less reliable feed supply, lower pasture persistence and greater pressure on animal performance.

Built to perform when conditions are under pressure
RAGT Stressless varieties are bred for natural resilience, helping them maintain pasture growth, quality and ground cover through both favourable and challenging seasons. By combining strong genetic potential with better tolerance to environmental stress, these varieties are designed to keep working when conditions become less than ideal.

That means a pasture base better equipped to handle seasonal variability, recover effectively and continue delivering useful feed when it matters most.
