Get Plus®: Forages with Beneficial Endophytes
Traditionally, forage grasses have been defined by two traits: yield and persistence. We also place a strong emphasis on a third trait, forage quality, because forage quality directly affects animal performance and your profitability. After many years of research, we were able to incorporate all three of these traits into select varieties. The technology bringing all of the together is E34® and NEA2® for beneficial, non-toxic, fungal endophytes.
RTF® (Rhizomatous Tall Fescue): Self Repairing Tall Fescue
The significance of rhizomes in turf is their ability to repair damaged areas, maintain a more uniform turf density, increase sod tensile strength, add drought tolerance, and reduce the need for frequent overseeding. These deep rhizomes spread laterally and are not as invasive as those of Kentucky bluegrass or creeping red fescue. Our RTF® technology has an extensive history of breeding and development so you can be sure when you choose RTF®, you’re choosing tried and true technology.
HGT® (Healthy Grass Technology): Kentucky Bluegrass Engineered for Turf Health
Slow establishment, diseases, insect pests and excessive traffic can significantly weaken and damage turf grass. HGT® came out of Barenbrug’s research program solving each of the major species-wide problems, and possesses many additional qualities making it one of the most unique Kentucky bluegrasses ever bred. With Barenbrug’s HGT® mixes of Kentucky bluegrass, you’ll find professional turf solutions against these common bluegrass challenges.
RPR® (Regenerating Perennial Ryegrass): Self Repairing Ryegrass
Regenerating Perennial Ryegrass, better known as RPR®, is an advanced grass seed technology developed by Barenbrug. These innovative varieties of perennial ryegrass has have conquered the green sector due to its unique properties and benefits. RPR® grass seed is known for its ability to regenerate, allowing the grass to repair itself after damage or wear. This characteristic makes RPR® an ideal choice for lawns, sports fields, and other green spaces that require sustainability and resilience.
NutriFiber®: Exceptional Quality Silage
NutriFiber® is a groundbreaking grass technology for silage, developed as a result of the international breeding program 'Grass for high-yielding dairy cattle'. This innovative technology combines mineral efficiency, high protein production, digestible cell walls, and strong root growth, resulting in exceptional quality silage. The synergy between these properties makes NutriFiber® a powerful choice for livestock farmers. It is the culmination of extensive testing under various conditions and management practices, making it a reliable solution for high-yielding dairy farms.
Yellow Jacket®: Enhanced Seed Coating
Yellow Jacket® is Barenbrug's advanced seed coating technology designed to improve seed establishment when conditions are less than ideal. Built around a starch-based super absorbent capable of holding up to 600 times its weight in water, Yellow Jacket® helps retain moisture around the seed during germination. Introduced in 2007 and validated through independent university research, Yellow Jacket® quickly became a trusted seed enhancement technology for turf professionals across the United States. Since then, millions of pounds of Yellow Jacket® enhanced seed have been sold, consistently delivering outstanding establishment and performance.
Nature Jacket®: Organic Excellence in Seed Coating
As consumer demands for organic products continue to rise, we recognize the need to deliver industry-leading organic seed technologies to the professional agriculture industry.
