GetPlus: 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.

Rhizomatous Tall Fescue® (RTF): It's Fescue, but Better

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 program has an extensive history of breeding and development so you can be sure when you choose RTF, you’re choosing tried and true varieties.

Healthy Grass Technology® (HGT): Kentucky Bluegrass Engineered for Turf Health

Slow establishment, diseases, insect pests and excessive traffic can significantly weaken and damage turf grass. Barvette 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 featuring Barvette HGT Kentucky bluegrass, you’ll find professional turf solutions against these common bluegrass challenges.

Yellow Jacket Nitrogenerator®: capturing fertilizer from the air

Yellow Jacket Nitrogenerator® is a pioneering seed treatment that adds the right Rhizobium strain to the seed. Thanks to a unique recipe and process, the seed is provided with essential Rhizobium bacteria, while extra nutrients are added to improve their survival rate and lifespan. This is for luzerne and particularly crucial for red clover, as it often faces strong competition from grass and weeds after sowing. With Yellow Jacket Nitrogenerator®, the crop gets the best possible start, enabling it to quickly convert nitrogen from the air into usable ammonium nitrogen for plant nutrition.
