The kale of choice for winter yield

Regal^® is an intermediate height kale which provides exceptional forage yields for your stock to graze over the cooler winter months. Selected for soft stems and high leaf to stem ratio, Regal crops provide plenty of leafy forage leading to excellent utilisation as well as maximising animal performance.

Kale provides a bulk of high quality feed over late summer, autumn and winter months. Most kale cultivars show good levels of aphid and clubroot tolerance. Kale has a deep root system and therefore good drought tolerance once established and can be grazed at any time. Optimum maturity is between 18-26 weeks and is usually only a single graze option from about late May to late August.
