FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Lucerne is the most cost-effective form of protein and energy a farmer can grow, and managed well it delivers high quality feed and excellent animal performance year after year. Its natural drought tolerance and persistence put it well ahead of many other forage options, providing reliable feed at crucial times of the season. RGT 714QL brings those strengths into a semi winter active package built for versatility.

With a winter activity rating of 7, RGT 714QL extends useful growth through the shoulders of the season, making it a strong fit for the North Island environment and for high quality cutting or grazing systems wherever feed is needed earlier and later in the year. Its soft stem supports high quality and strong utilisation, whether the crop is cut for silage or grazed. It is a valuable addition to systems currently built around more dormant types, lifting feed supply when those systems tend to slow down. RGT 714QL suits farmers right across New Zealand, particularly the East Coast of both islands, Otago, and the southern North Island.
