Monarch Range

As grass leys are so important to your future prosperity it is vital to avoid anything which could compromise their performance. By specifying Monarch, a very well established brand, you are making a positive investment in your future profitability.

There are several reasons why you should specify a mixture from the Monarch range. Certainly, all our mixtures are formulated using top quality varieties and the majority of these also feature the Headstart^®/Integral^® seed treatments which enhance establishment.

In addition we ensure that when mixtures are formulated the varieties used are agronomically compatible and nutritionally complementary. This close attention to detail means that every mixture has the power to deliver exactly what is required.

You will also find new information on our recently introduced Matrix Enhanced^® range of mixtures. This concept was introduced in our 2010 catalogue but it has been further refined since then.

It is worth noting that a number of the Monarch leys benefit from Tetraploid Power. These leys are formulated with a higher proportion of tetraploid ryegrasses and as a result they exhibit some very valuable characteristics. Tetraploids have a higher concentration of water soluble carbohydrates (sugars) so livestock will find them sweeter - and as a result their forage intake should increase. Tetraploids are also large seeded which leads to faster establishment and their deeper root systems are able to search out available moisture and soil nutrients.

The Monarch leys which feature these performance boosting enhancements are marked with a Tetraploid Power logo. If you click on the button at the top of this page you can either view the current Monarch catalogue on line or you may find it more convenient to download it for future reference.
