Grass Maxx
Grass Maxx provides the diversity you need in a hayfield or pasture while giving you the option of broadleaf weed control during the establishment year. After establishment, frost-seeding a clover or clover blend into the stand in late winter can be a great option to thicken the stand further and boost protein.
Mixture Components
The main component of Grass Maxx is Martin II Protek. Martin II Protek is the new novel endophyte tall fescue, combining the proven genetics of Martin 2 forage tall fescue with the enhancement of the Protek™ endophyte. Martin 2 is an early-medium forage tall fescue selected for the transition zone, and stands up quite well to drought stress and intensive management. Its pedigree includes several USA varieties including Mozark, the original Martin, Cajun, and three KY31 synthetics. Despite its southern breeding, it is adapted to the entire US tall fescue market.
In addition to Martin II Protek, Grass Maxx also contains two orchardgrasses. Both are strong southern orchardgrasses with great longevity.
