TARGA OATS FOR HAY PRODUCTION

Targa was included in hay trials where it produced a higher average hay yield than the standard varieties.

Of 32 varieties tested at 4 sites in Victoria and South Australia Targa was the highest in 1999 and second highest in 1998.

Targa was developed from a cross between Nile and Quamby Oats. Targa has exhibited excellent early growth in trials producing an average 25% more dry matter than other standard varieties along with similar metabolisable energy and high digestibility.

Targa Features:

• High Forage Yield
• Good Regrowth
• Excellent Quality Hay
• Strong Straw
• Heavy Bright Coloured Grain

TARGA OATS FOR GRAZING

• Quick Early Growth
• Good Re-Growth
• High Dry Matter Yields

Targa has generally produced superior dry matter yields than three other oats that exhibit quick early growth - Coolabah, Claun and Saia. Tests indicate that Targa will have a higher metabolisable energy than the other three varieties when grazed late in the season.

Targa oat seed is grown on contract for W.D. Seeds Pty Ltd by specially selected growers.
