WINFRED FORAGE RAPE
Winfred is a very versatile brassica, as it is suited to a wide range of soil fertility and environmental conditions, and is either spring and/or late-summer sown. It is well suited to dryland conditions where it has a very good record of on-farm performance. Winfred has proven to have excellent grazing tolerance, making it very reliable formulti-grazing. Winfred is particularly good for lamb finishing in summer-dry regions and has good application in deer, beef and other dry-stock operations.
