Abstract

Grasslands Manawa, Moata and Tama are greenfeed crops. Manawa is a perennial x Italian hybrid, also known as 'short-rotation ryegrass'. Moata is a tetraploid Italian ryegrass and Tama is a tetraploid Westerwolds Italian ryegrass (i.e., it is an extreme annual type). About 1500 ha of these three were entered for certification in the 1987/88 season; twice as much Moata was sown as Manawa and Tama. Yields of l$OO kg ha-' are achieved by specialist growers in these crops; in theory yields of 2000 kg ha-' should be possible.
