Product Description
Viscount has been a standout tetraploid perennial ryegrass in Agriseeds plant breeding programme, with more early spring growth and better total yield than Bealey. Add to this improved rust resistance and better summer feed quality too. The biggest gain with Viscount is in its early spring growth, through calving or lambing when feed is most valuable. For dairy farmers extra grass at this time of year has been of great value too.
