SF Pacer
Setting the pace
SF Pacer has been bred as a replacement for Pasja by its plant breeder. It was selected from four breeder’s lines bred and evaluated for increased yield, improved re-growth and reduced bolting between grazings.
In Australian and New Zealand trials it has shown rapid establishment, fast growth to first grazing and outstanding
re-growth.
Agronomic features:
-
Fast to first grazing
Can provide earlier feed for livestock -
Higher yielding
Can deliver more liveweight gain or milk per hectare -
Improved regrowth potential
Provides more feed from later grazings -
Reduced bolting
Provides better quality longer
