Full Throttle is a new diploid perennial ryegrass that is able to better tolerate drought and cold temperatures and still retain moderately-active growth and high protein content. Full Throttle is a great choice for both summer hay and grazing.

Full Throttle is a early to medium maturing plant with a low, dense crown making it ideal for intensive uses such as beef, sheep, dairy, and horse pastures and rotational grazing operations. Endophyte free, and a good resistance to stem rust, Full Throttle will naturally maintain its health and palatability throughout many years. Tests conducted at Penn State indicate that provides above average tonnage, especially in the summer and late-summer cuttings. Forage quality is consistently higher than many other diploids.
