|---|---|---|---|
| Annual ryegrass | Lolium multiflorum L. | The annual and/or short-rotation ryegrass remains productive for one season. It has a fast establishment, good winter growth and provides a high-quality forage digestibility. |
 |
| Biannual ryegrass | Lolium multiflorum L. | An excellent species for directgrazing and forage conservation, with dry matter production rate similar to the annual ryegrass. It lasts 2 years and has a good content of soluble carbohydrates. |
 |
| Hybrid ryegrass | Lolium hybridum Hausskn. | It is a high performance seed with a higher tillering capacity, which means a high performance and quality for long periods of time, ensuring hence a greater persistence and lower formation of flower stems. It is an erect growing or semiprostrate species, which gives the versatility to be used on pasture and on cutting. |
 |
| Ryegrass | Lolium perenne L. | It is all-important to the meadow because of its long lifespan (up to 5-7 years). It has a high productivity and nutritional quality. You can make an association with the white clover and other perennial species. |
 |
| White clover | Trifolium repens L. | It is remarkable for its high quality food for cattle, in terms of proteins and minerals. It is adaptable when mixed with graminae (Perennial ryegrass) and has a high digestibilty. its growth can reach high volumes of forage quickly. |
 |
| Red Clover | Trifolium pratense L. | It has a great energy boost. It iswell associated with short-rotation ryegrass. It has an enhanced usage as cutting rather than grazing, so you can using silage or hay. |
 |
| Incarnate clover | Trifolium incarnatum L. | It provides a good quality forage through the end of winter. This clover can be better used as cutting at the beginning of the flowering period and has a good proteins content. |
 |
| Subterranean clover | Trifolium subterraneum L. | Annual winter-spring crop having a creeping growth. With a good protein and energy content, it can be associated with the fescue or the red clover. |
 |
| Tall Fescue | Festuca arundinacea Schreb. | Good spring production, goodforage quality in re-growing that can be exploited for grazing. Good tolerance and persistence to wet soils. |
 |
| Orchardgrass | Dactylis glomerata L. | Having an upright growth, itgrows well in summer (due to its tolerance to high temperatures and dry weather) and is ideal for mixtures with perennial ryegrass and white clover. It is a rustic forage producing a good quantity of tillers per plant, besides having the property of being long-living plants. |
 |
| Bromine | Bromo spp. L. | With a very good level of quiteacceptable features to summer drought, it is suitable for cold areas and its values are tolerant to pests and diseases. |
 |
| Forage turnips | Brassica Rapa L. | It is the ideal complement to dairycows. It has high protein levels and high content of digestible energy. In the summer season it generates a great development, both in leaves and is thickened root, which is a direct resource for cattle. |
 |
| Forage raps | Brassica napus L. | It is a clear alternative in pasture rotation, that can also be used as a supplementary forage, very spread among farmers in Los Rios and Los Lagos regions. Excellent for dairy production. |
 |
| Alfalfa | Medicago sativa L. | The queen of forage species, dueto its high performance, excellent quality and wide adaptation to different weather and soil conditions. It can be used a green forage, hay and silage and has a lifespan between 5 and 12 years. Their dormancy or latency fluctuate from 1 to 11, in where 1 means high dormancy and 11 means a cycle of null dormancy. |
 |
| Greater Bird’s-foot Trefoild or Marsh Bird’s-foot Trefoil | Lotus uliginosus Cav. | Its leaves are composed of 5leaflets upper than 2.5 cm., blue green below, simulating the shape of lower stipules.Perennial, very adaptable to wet high sites and used for beef cattle. It is tolerant to water deficit stress. |
 |
| Purple Vetch | Vicia spp. L. | It is a plant used for animal feeding,associated with oat or triticale. It has a high protein content in the forage. As a legume, it has the capability to perform a clearnitrogen incorporation into the soil. |
 |
| Wheat | Triticum aestivum L. | The king of cereals. When you buywheat seeds in AGROAS Ltd., you trust you acquire a superior quality in purity and germination, as well as in grains size. |
 |
| White Oats | Avena sativa L. | It can be used as a forage cropusually associated with other grasses such as grain or in silage, breaking thus the fungal diseases cycle. |
 |
| Strigosa Oats | Avena strigosa Schreb. | This oat has the ability to improvethe soil structure. It is used as a forage crop and/or silage, having a good resistance to trampling. When associated with vetch, it is recommended to get a performance boost in order to ensiling the forage. |
 |
| Canola | Brassica napus L. | Enhanced raps without erucicacid and glucosinolates. It is anannual plant that produces forageand vegetable oil for human consumption and biodiesel. |
 |
| Barley | Hordeum vulgare L. | Winter cereal. There are two typesof barley: malting and fodder (depending on the number of rows). Its consumption is for both humans and animals. It is used as pellets or directly as grain for cattle. |
 |
| Lupine | Lupinus spp. L. | Having high protein productionand a good fiber proportion, it can be used as grain for animals as well as forage. It can also be used, in lower proportions, for human consumption (sweet lupine). |
