Savvy Cocksfoot
Estimated Delivery between April 24 and April 26.
Savvy Cocksfoot is a high-yielding, very productive perennial cocksfoot cultivar developed for New Zealand dryland and summer-stress environments. It is characterised by soft leaves, long leaf length, and a significantly reduced seed-head production under grazing (low aftermath heading) - meaning it stays leafy and palatable longer.
| Persistence | 5+ Years |
|---|---|
| endophyte | Nil |
| Sowing rate |
2-3kg per hectare in a mix |
| heading date | Mid |
| Best used for | Grazing, Hay, Silage |
- Excellent autumn and winter production with strong spring and summer growth in dryland or heat-stress conditions.
- Soft, leafy growth habit with a long leaf length and tiller structure well-suited for cattle and sheep grazing.
- Low seed-head development under grazing, improving palatability and feed utilisation.
- Strong disease tolerance and good performance in lower fertility soils.
