Excellent for Mixtures 

The breeding goal was to produce an orchardgrass that blends perfectly into mixtures with perennial ryegrass - to be competitive, but not aggressive, and more digestible than old orchardgrass types. AMBASSADOR is a highly digestible and non-aggressive orchardgrass variety. As a late type it fits perfect into mixtures with perennial ryegrass, hybrid ryegrass, white clover and even with alfalfa. AMBASSADOR is adapted to low input conditions and definitely will be the first choice for many mixtures with an even production right from spring to autumn!
