Red Dawn
Adapts more to warm weather
Red oats are an annual grass cultivated for grain and fodder. Red oats adapt to warmer weather more than common oat and are more resistant to drought and make for palatable grazing.
​
RED DAWN is particularly suitable for grazing. It has a high tilling capacity and good disease resistance.
SWK001
Widely adapted to most soil conditions
AVENA SATIVA (WHITE OATS) is the most
commonly used for grain production both for
animal and human consumption. Its use as a
forage crop is not so commonly known compared to AVENA BYZANTINA (RED OATS), which is preferred because of the better adaptation to direct grazing.
The advantage of AVENA SATIVA (WHITE OATS), is that it grows fast.(55 days to the first grazing), a growth rate similar only to that of barley or black oats.
Targa
High forage yield
TARGA has exhibited excellent early growth in trials producing an average 25% more dry matter than other standard varieties.
​
Tests indicate that TARGA will have a higher metabolism energy than the other three varieties when grazed late in the season.
​
Only certified seed of TARGA Oats is sold and the variety is covered by Plant Breeder rights in Australia and South Africa.
