With compliments,
MaximusMAXIMUS is a new and exciting variety with a rich heritagetraced back to Aguascalientes, Mexico. Seeds from thisimpressive plant were brought to Barenbrug USA for finalscreening and increase. Maximus has been tested in Alabama,Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas for forage yields over the pastfive years. The first 50,000 pounds of commercially availableseed was put to the test under intensive Texas grazing by thePanther City Cattle Company of Batesville, Texas. Maximus hasproven itself superior both in scientific experiments and practicalapplications.
ManagementAnnual ryegrass is normally planted from September throughNovember. The recommended seeding rate is 20-30 lbs./acre ina well-prepared seedbed. The ideal sowing depth is ¼".Broadcasting and no-till are two of the most popular plantingmethods. Once established, grazing a Jumbo pasture shouldcommence at a height of 8-9”. Rotational grazing will providethe best yield results, however, ryegrass will tolerate close andcontinuous grazing. Ryegrass responds to Nitrogen and istolerant of moderate soil acidity.
In high rainfall areas of the Gulf Coast, high production can beexpected throughout the winter from November to May. Farthernorth, most of the production is from late February throughMay.
To increase winter forage availability, annual ryegrass can beplanted with a companion, such as a small grain crop or forageturnip. When overseeding bermudagrass, remember that latermaturing ryegrass varieties prolong the suppression of yourexisting pasture and increase the risk of decline. Whenmechanical harvesting is desired, later maturing varieties, freeof disease, are more suitable due to higher quality prior tomaturity.

Maximus is a higher yielding, medium maturing and
winter active modern tetraploid variety suitable for
both grazing and mechanical harvest. Maximus
exhibits erect growth with large leaves and good
early production. Forage trials have shown Maximus
to have excellent yield potential. Maximus has good
rust resistance and is suitable for production in the
Gulf Coast States, California and mexico. Maximus
has exhibited superior performance in South Texas
under intensive stocker grazing programs. Maximus
may be grown as a monoculture or with clovers,
forage turnips and small grains. maximus delivers
yields and maximum quality suitable for grazing or
harvest.
"Varieties which are susceptible to crown rust should notbe recommended to be grown within 200 miles from the
Gulf Coast, because forage quality and yield will bereduced in some years."
