A blended mix of Triticale (Trical® 336) and Italian Ryegrass that gives you a tremendous amount of flexibility.  Ingredients are the best we can find of Fall Triticale and Italian Rygrass.

Triticale Advantages 

Italian Ryegrass Advantages

Easier to cut with sickle mower. Increases quality, digestibility, energy, etc.

More winter-hardy

Much better regrowth later in the spring
Faster grown cover can be sown lower in the fall. More cuttings and increased tonnage
Much easier to blow into upright silo, due to more stems

This blend has some very good advantages.  Caution: Do not drill deeper than ½. 

In yield trial results, a blend of the two give higher overall tonnage than one by itself.  Seed at 80 to 100 lbs per acre.


Trical® 2700 -Order Now-
Spring Planted Triticale—from Resource Seed

is a widely adapted, highly versatile Triticale for grazing, silage and boot-stage hay.  It is excellent planted alone, or blended with other cereals for forage peas. 

High protein, digestibility and yield – proven to have outstanding digestibility (IVTD) and crude protein.  Significantly higher yields than other boot-stage cereal forages.

Excellent source of digestible fiber that is vital for the health and productivity and dairy and beef cattle-digestible fiber (dNDF) provides energy along with the benefits of fiber for rumen health.   Trical® 2700 receives high ratings for dNDF.

Superior tolerance to disease, lagoon water and tough growing conditions – compared to other cereal forages.


TRICAL 336 -Order Now-
Winter Triticale – from Resource Seed

A high quality dairy silage when harvested before heading or also for grazing.High protein and high digestibility – shown to have overall outstanding true digestibility (IVTD).Excellent source of digestible fiber that is vital for the health and productivity of dairy cows. Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF), a commonly used measure of forage fiber, consists of some compounds that are readily digested by rumen bacteria in the dairy animal, an others that are not.  The digestible fiber (dNDF) provides energy along with the benefits of fiber for rumen health.  TRICALâ 336 receives high ratings for dNDF.    TRICALâ 336 is ideal as a double croup.  Harvest in boot stage of maturity (before heading).  Good winter hardiness.  Also high silage yields, yielding 35% more boot stage forage than wheat in recent University tests.  TRICALâ 336 has a dense, leafy growth. 

Triticale for Silage and Hay: Triticale is a highly versatile silage and hay that can meet a wide range of livestock needs.  For outstanding quality, the optimum harvest stage is at flag leaf or boot, prior to head emergence.  Total digestibility and fiber digestibility are exceptionally high at this stage.  Typical digestibility as measured by 30 hr. InVitro True Digestibility is 84% for superior Triticale varieties prior to heading, compared to representative averages of 80% for corn silage and 78% for alfalfa hay.  (Note: ADF, NDF< and estimates of TDN and NEL based on them, can be very misleading for cereal forages.)  Protein content at the boot state will vary depending on fertility, moisture and other growing conditions, but generally will range between 10 and 19%.  For feeding animals that do not need maximum protein and digestibility, delaying harvest can increase yield significantly, but protein can drop below 10%. 

Triticale Pasture: Triticale is become the cool-season annual pasture of choice in many areas because of its superior combination of productivity, quality, and durability. 


TRITLAGE PRO – from Byron Seed -Order Now-
Tritlage Pro is a cool weather crop, a combination of Tricalâ 2700 triticale and forage peas, only the best available on the market.  Harvest should be when peas flower or Triticale is in flag leaf stage. 

TRITLAGE PRO is a selection of peas and Triticale that Byron Seeds has developed, through both our efforts and university research, to excel in quality and tonnage – resulting on very high digestibility with increased milk production and beef gains over oat/peas combinations. 

Tritlage Pro should be planted as soon as possible in the spring.  It can be drilled, or broadcast, provided the soil is cultipacked.  Tritlage Pro can d be no-tilled into existing hay crops, however use of a burn down is recommended to ensure good emergence.

TRITLAGE PRO makes a tremendous companion crop when planted with alfalfa.  Tritlage Pro provides early growth ensuring good ground over and suppressing weed competition in new seeding alfalfa.  Tritlage Pro can be harvested 50-65 days after planting.  Cut when flowers appear on peas.  In normal weather, it will yield from 4-8 tons per acre with 50% dry matter, depending on fertility. 

TRITLAGE PRO can also be used in the fall for quick forage.  Planted mid-August to early September, it can be harvested or grazed October through December with a very high tonnage potential.  Tritlage Pro can also be mixed with turnips.  A fall regrowth of 3-4 inches prior to dormancy is critical for winter survival of the Triticale in the southern and central Midwest.  Peas will not survive the winter. 


EVERLEAF 126 Forage Oats -Order Now-
A true forage oats with delayed heading (about 2 weeks later in Midwest).  They are very bushy and leafier than Jerry and have a softer stem.  Forage quality is extremely high.  24 hr NDFd test were 75%.  Protein was also slightly higher.  Our samples of Everleaf Oats were the highest forage quality of all the small grains we have ever tested.  The leaves may get to 1.25” wide. 


FORAGER PEAS  -Order Now-
New variety of forage pea.  This pea was selected out of the “Dunn” Family of peas.  Bred in Australia.  Very High yielding, excellent forage quality pea.  University trials show much higher quality than other forage peas. 

Advantages: Drought resistance, high quality forage. 


SPELT -Order Now-
Spelt is a late maturing small grain closely related to wheat.  Most varieties are taller and more aggressive in growth than wheat.  Spelt is managed similar to wheat but requires 10 to 20% less nitrogen than wheat.  Do not use spelt as a nurse crop.  Seed at 110 to 150 lbs peer Acre with 150 lb being a goal for forage use.  Most drills need to be wide open because of its bulkiness.


Oberkulmer Spelt -Order Now-
A true spelt containing not wheat germplasm.  This variety is tall and robust which makes it a great variety for forage harvested at the boot stage.  Also excellent for both grain and straw.


Champ Spelt -Order Now-

This is a popular spelt for grain or forage.


 

     

 

 

 

We the folks who work and associate with Byron Seeds strongly believe that there is a tremendous difference in the quality of forages available for our livestock to consume each day.  We believe feeding the best quality forages allow our livestock to be healthier animals that are more productive.  We believe high quality forages fed properly to livestock  is the most profitable way for our customers to produce high quality meat and milk.
