Prospect

Prospect is suitable for dairy farmers looking for dense, robust pastures with excellent persistence under insect and intensive grazing pressures. In regional trialling Prospect has shown excellent adaptation to a wide range of environments. Prospect is suited to a variety of situations from hill country development on sheep and beef farms, to high performance dairy systems. 

Agricom values individual trials that are undertaken New Zealand wide and the data they provide. For us, while the results may have statistical limitations, they deliver invaluable information on the basis of the specific locations and conditions in which they are undertaken, especially from the experiences and anecdotal feedback received. Multiple trial summaries offer a level of confidence that a result will be repeated. It is important to be aware that the number of trials a cultivar is summarised in relates to the confidence you can have that the data summary will not change with the addition of extra trials. Cultivars summarised from a least 8-10 trials are less likely to change than ones summarised from 3-4 trials. Prospect sits in the top statistical group for total yield in the ‘NFVT Perennial Ryegrass All New Zealand Trial Summary 1991-2016’. Prospect’s seasonal strengths are winter, late spring and summer while being solid in the other seasons.
