Phalaris

You are here: Grasses : Phalaris
Atlas PG
Winter active, high summer dormancy, improved persistence in marginal phalaris areas, drought tolerant, strong seedling vigour, high winter production, suits rotational grazing, suited to higher rainfall parts of wheat belt zone
Australian
Semi winter dormant, prostrate growth habit, low winter production, persists under heavy grazing, suited to high rainfall, cool tableland areas
Australian II
Semi winter dormant, low summer dormancy, very persistent once established, prostrate growth habit, tolerates water logging
Holdfast
Winter active, excellent seedling vigour, semi erect-erect type, improved acid soil tolerance to Sirosa, high winter growth and excellent palatability, suits rotational grazing
Holdfast GT
Winter active, grazing tolerant, winter active, long term persistence under grazing, increased productivity over stand life, good tolerance to acid soils
Landmaster
Winter active, semi erect-erect type, adapted to shallow acidic soils, strong seedling vigour, high winter forage production, suits rotational grazing
Maru
Semi winter dormant, good establishment vigour, reduced alkaloid content, most salt tolerant phalaris, productive and persistent, semi erect growth habit, lower risk of phalaris staggers, replacement for Australian
Sirolan
Winter active, good seedling vigour, high winter production, low alkaloid levels, developed for drier marginal phalaris areas, high summer dormancy, excellent drought tolerance
Sirosa
Winter active, good seedling vigour, good early growth, more erect than Australian, good drought tolerance, superseded by Holdfast
Uneta
Australian type, less vigorous than Australian, less productive than Australian, poor seed yield
