Quick Facts

DALITA is the world's most famous hybrid ryegrass and has shown wide adaptability and proven high yields, establishment speed and disease resistance. Dalita will easily last for two years, and even a third in mild conditions with sufficient water in the summer. Italian type hybrids are higher yielding than perennial types. Their persistence is far better than Italian ryegrass. Dalita is an excellent choice for short-term pastures when high yields and high forage quality are both required.
