Triticale

Ideally suited for flag leaf to early boot forage production for lactating cows. Can extract and assimilate large amounts of nitrogen making it an excellent tool for managing dairy waste products. Early maturity allows potential double-cropping with corn silage rotations where growing degrees will allow (Boots two days earlier than 815 triticale variety).

HyOctane is a winter triticale variety that has shown favorable forage yield and winter hardiness across the East Coast. HyOctane makes a great option for fall grazing on ensiling in the spring before corn planting. Reduced awned variety to aid livestock palatability. Good early-season vigor and earlier heading date than traditional varieties with a medium straw strength. Very short awns and a very high leaf to stem ratio with excellent yield and quality.
