Multigraze Brassica
Multigraze Brassica n - Hybrid crosses between a Turnip and a rape or an asiatic leafy vegetable
Multigraze Brassicas are hybrid crosses between a Turnip and a rape or an asiatic leafy vegetable, producing one of the fastest maturing Brassicas, with a look most like a leafy, non-bulb producing Turnip. Multigraze Brassicas are quick-growing with minimal bulb development and are best suited to multiple grazings. They have been selected for vigorous regrowth, resulting in a variety of fast recovery from grazing and an excellent ability to yield in the second, third and sometimes fourth regrowth cycles. Plants usually show good resistance to most clubroot races, but they are susceptible to drought and aphids, and are best suited to heavier soil conditions with periodic summer moisture and/or irrigation.
Multigraze Brassica is an ideal crop for lamb finishing and is suitable for most stock classes.
