This promotional feature was provided by RAGT.
In New Zealand’s dynamic farming landscape, staying ahead means embracing innovative solutions, especially when it comes to perennial ryegrass. After many years of development, RAGT proudly introduces their own novel endophyte, RGT18.
RGT18 sets the bar high by offering superior tolerance against a wide array of insects, surpassing the renowned AR1. It ensures peak animal performance, while minimising the risk of staggers.
Rigorous testing, including extensive agronomic trials and assessments for insect protection and animal safety, underscores the exceptional performance of RGT18.
Independent animal safety trials conducted over a comprehensive 5-year period across diverse ryegrass genetic backgrounds confirm that RGT18 is a very safe endophyte for sheep,beef and dairy.
The benefits of RGT18 are impressive. With its strong tolerance to key pests like Black Beetle and Argentine Stem Weevil, RGT18 offers New Zealand farmers a comprehensive solution to mitigate insect pressures and increase persistency. Ongoing trials for pests like Porina promise even broader protection.
RGT18 is now available with RGT Hustle, a variety that stands out as one of New Zealand’s top-performing perennial ryegrasses. Now fortified with RGT18, RGT Hustle emerges as a powerhouse, offering incredible pest protection precisely where it's needed most.
PBRA trials further validate the exceptional performance of Hustle RGT18, cementing its status as a standout choice for farmers seeking premium quality and reliability.
