Quick Facts

SURREY is a moderately early flowering, diploid (2N), annual bunchgrass with aggressive, rapid establishment and outstanding winter activity. Surrey is a broad leaved, erect growing cultivar with improved crown rust resistance. Surrey tolerates moderately acidic soils and remains productive under poorly drained soil conditions. Surrey exhibits improved cold tolerance and is classified as a genetic mixture of Italian and Westerwold types. Surrey is ideal for winter overseeding/interseeding into dormant or existing pasture. It is an excellent nurse crop when establishing alfalfa or small seeded legume stands.
