If you see a regular copy of Grass & Forage Farmer (an informative magazine published by the British Grassland Society) you will have noticed the full page advertisement for Matrix Enhanced Ryegrass which appeared in the Spring issue.

What is Matrix? Quite simply, it is one of the most exciting innovations that livestock farmers have seen for years! Matrix is a concept developed in New Zealand and results from an inter-generic hybrid between perennial ryegrass and meadow fescue.

It was developed to provide a high quality grass which boasts an extended grazing season – in fact up to six weeks of extra grazing can be achieved with Matrix. In addition Matrix provides a dense, fine leaved sward which resists poaching and treading.

Matrix is especially suited to paddock management or rotational grazing systems – but it can also be used in a set-stocking regime.

We have just published a new Management Guide to help you squeeze the maximum amount of agronomic and financial value from Matrix – if you would like a pdf copy then please click on the technical guide on the right or please email us at sinclairmcgill@limagrain.co.uk and we will forward the file to you without delay!
