NEW HYBRID BRASSICA LEADING THE WAY IN IRISH TRIALS
Mainstar promises high yields of leafy forage with excellent utilisation and judging by the data collected so far, it won’t disappoint.
In 2023 we established a number of forage rape grazing trials on farms across the country to assess the yield, quality and utilisation of Mainstar compared to the leading varieties on the market. The graph below shows some impressive initial results for Mainstar. The DM yield of Mainstar particularly stands out, producing 1.8t/ha more than the next best variety.
