There’s a RAGT Beet for Every Farm System

Published on 22 July 2024
This season, RAGT will continue to offer a full range of high-performance fodder beet genetics across all key categories to the New Zealand market.

Each of our four types of beet has slightly different characteristics to suit different farm systems and feed needs, so there’s a solution for everyone. To choose the right cultivar consider ; what stock class it’s for, if it will be grazed in-situ, self-harvest or mechanically harvested and whether it’s for maintenance feed or animal production.

BRIGADIER:
Optimal Utilisation: Lowest bulb DM% and highest proportion out of the ground enhance feed usage.
Enhanced Production: Higher total protein levels boost animal productivity.
Versatile: Suitable for all stock classes and ages.

1505BV:
Cost-Efficient: Same growing costs to lower DM varieties but with higher yields.
Healthy Growth: Excellent leaf health supports better protein intake.
Reliable: Uniformity and consistency means it can be lifted.

MINOTAURE:
Dual Purpose: Ideal for both grazing and lifting.
Older Stock Friendly: Significant portion of the bulb above ground is suitable for older animals.
Extended Quality: Higher DM bulb maintains quality longer during lifting.

SUGA 3.0:
Cost-Effective: Provides high-quality supplementary feed at a great value.
Harvest Flexibility: Unlike other options, it allows control of when you want to harvest it.
Ease Of Management: Solely used for lifting and feeding to livestock.
