Speciality forages

Punter

Punter is a deep rooted perennial chicory providing outstanding summer productivity and feed quality.

DON’T TAKE A PUNT ON ANY OLD CHICORY

Punter has high mineral uptake and is extremely persistent. It provides a high energy forage with proven animal health benefits and increased animal production at a time of year when pasture quality is low.

Being more winter active than some varieties, Punter can be sown at any time when there is adequate moisture for good germination and establishment.

Punter can be sown in autumn with ryegrass due to its establishment vigour and competitiveness in a sward. It can also be spring sown with other forages such as Pacer leafy turnip.
