VALLEY SEEDS RYEGRASS ANNUAL SAFEGUARD 1 KG

Safeguard annual ryegrass is a uniquely advanced pasture option, offering the only certified Annual Ryegrass Toxicity (ARGT) resistant genetics available to Australian livestock producers.

Developed specifically for producers in cropping and mixed-farming regions, Safeguard delivers sustainable, long-term biological control of ARGT by significantly reducing the multiplication of the nematode Anguina funesta, which is responsible for enabling the toxin-producing bacterium to reach harmful levels. Trials have demonstrated Safeguard’s ability to cut nematode numbers by up to 90%, helping protect livestock health and dramatically reducing the risk of ARGT outbreaks.

Beyond its resistance benefits, Safeguard is a high-performing annual ryegrass with excellent winter production, vigorous leafy growth, and strong suitability for pasture rotations. When managed optimally, it can act as a self-regenerating pasture, providing ongoing protection and feed value for multiple years. Its use also supports reduced export hay rejections linked to ARGT contamination and offers a valuable disease break for issues such as Take-all and Cereal Cyst Nematode. For producers seeking a reliable, protective, and high-yielding ryegrass option, Safeguard stands alone as the proven choice for both pasture productivity and livestock safety.
