High Yielding
Gironde is a Westerwold ryegrass known for its exceptionally high yields of dry matter in the first cut. Combined with its rapid regrowth after each cut, Gironde stands out as one of the top varieties in 2025 for both total dry matter yield throughout the season and dry matter yield in the first cut.
Quality is Important
Forage quality is crucial to ensure high intake by livestock, but it is often compromised by diseases. Gironde offers robust disease tolerance against both rust and leaf spot, safeguarding your grassland from severe disease outbreaks and ensuring the production of high-quality forage.
Flexibility and Efficiency
Gironde fits seamlessly into short-term rotations, offering both adaptability and productivity. Its rapid regrowth and high dry matter yield make it an excellent choice for optimizing forage production within a limited timeframe. Additionally, Gironde is ideal for diversifying your crop rotation with cover crops, thanks to its quick establishment and suitability for short-term cycles.
