Productive Spring Growth for High Yields in the First Cut!
Astrian is a tetraploid perennial ryegrass, delivering exceptional performance with a first cut yield 15% higher than average, as documented in Rassenlijst 2025—the official recommended list of forage grasses in the Netherlands.
With strong, early, and highly productive spring growth, Astrian is the ideal choice for farmers aiming to capitalize on the crucial first cut. This first cut is often the most important in many forage management strategies, both in terms of volume and nutritional value. Astrian leads where it counts most.
In addition to its outstanding first cut, Astrian boasts an above-average total seasonal yield, making it a stable and reliable choice for securing high-quality fodder. While its exceptional yield is proven under conservation management, results in Rassenlijst 2025 show that Astrian also delivers above-average yield in grazing trials, further enhancing Astrians versatility.
Healthy, Resilient, and Reliable
Astrian offers excellent rust resistance (8.9 in Rassenlijst 2025) and strong total dry matter yield across the season. This results in a healthier grass-ley with a reduced need for fungicide treatments, ensuring high-quality forage at every cut while also supporting more environmentally friendly farming practices.
