BARENBRUG RHODES ENDURA AGRICOTE PER KG 100719408 at a glance

Endura Rhodes grass, a diploid Rhodes grass, is a new Katambora type.

Bred in Australia, this perennial variety was selected from the market leading Tolgar Rhodes grass, taking the greatest characteristics of this long-standing variety and significantly improving forage quality.

Leaf blades are thinner again, resulting in finer textured vegetative growth, with a reduced amount of stem. The enhanced multiple tillering ability of Endura Rhodesproduces a higher leaf to stem ratio, providing more consumable dry matter than Tolgar Rhodes and other Katambora Rhodes grass varieties on the market.

The result of intensive breeding selection work from Tolgar Rhodes has resulted in Endura Rhodes grass ability to make top quality hay, with conditioning and drying down traits significantly improved.

Less stem results in more even dry down rates and the ability to capitalise on quick initial leaf dry down gains. Maturity evenness of this variety provides higher levels of protein feed later in the season that has higher utilisation rates.

Endura Rhodes demonstrates exceptional persistence and recovery after grazing or cutting.

Later flowering again compared to Tolgar Rhodes and other Katambora Rhodes grasses provides Endura Rhodes® the ability to maintain feed quality longer into the season.

Uses:

Endura Rhodes is an excellent option for intensive hay production systems, as well as for use under intensive and extensive grazing situations. It is ideal for land reclamation, amenity, erosion control, and mine rehabilitation.

Suggested Sowing Rates (AgriCote coated seed):

Marginal Dryland: 4-6Kg/Ha
Ideal Dryland: 8-12Kg/Ha
Irrigated: 15-25Kg/Ha

Sow Barenbrug Rhodes Endura during spring-summer (October–January) at 2–4 kg/ha of coated seed or 1–2 kg/ha of bare seed, either broadcast or shallow drilled to 0.5–1 cm depth. Press wheels are essential to firm seed into contact with soil. Do not graze until the pasture is well established and has set some seed; allow follow-up rain to develop a strong root system before turning stock in. Tips: Rhodes Endura thrives on well-drained coastal and sub-coastal soils in SE Queensland receiving 700–1000 mm annual rainfall. For best results, use rotational grazing to maintain a leafy, productive sward and prevent stand decline. Compatible legumes such as burgundy bean, siratro, stylo and desmanthus will boost protein content and soil nitrogen. Respond strongly to split nitrogen applications (up to 300 kg/ha annually) and phosphorus fertiliser.

What is Endura Rhodes grass?

Endura Rhodes is a diploid Rhodes grass, a new Katambora type bred in Australia. It's a perennial variety selected from the market leading Tolgar Rhodes grass, with significantly improved forage quality. It has thinner leaf blades, finer textured growth, and a higher leaf to stem ratio than Tolgar Rhodes.

What's it used for?

Endura Rhodes is excellent for intensive hay production systems, as well as for intensive and extensive grazing. It's also ideal for land reclamation, amenity, erosion control, and mine rehabilitation.

What sowing rate should I use?

This is AgriCote coated seed. Suggested sowing rates are: Marginal Dryland 4–6 kg/ha, Ideal Dryland 8–12 kg/ha, and Irrigated 15–25 kg/ha. Always check your product label for specific guidance, or contact TGRM on (07) 5482 1692 if you need help choosing the right rate for your situation.

Why is Endura Rhodes good for hay?

Endura Rhodes has significantly improved conditioning and drying down traits. The reduced stem content results in more even dry down rates and faster initial leaf drying. It also flowers later than Tolgar Rhodes and other Katambora varieties, so it maintains feed quality longer into the season.
