Baranova

Baranova is a tetraploid intermediate heading perennial ryegrass, officially listed in the Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium, and recommended since 2024. Bred in the Netherlands, Baranova brings a unique genetic background with extraordinary performance in both cutting and grazing systems.

Outstanding yields

Baranova combines excellent performance under both cutting and grazing management. Its extreme spring growth results in the highest first cut yield on the recommended list.

Unique genetics for future farming

With New Zealand genetics in its background, Baranova is one of the few European varieties prepared for changing climates. Its name “Nova” reflects its strength as the first in spring growth and yield potential.

High persistency & reliability

Tested in Germany with the M-predicate, Baranova shows superior ground cover, winter hardiness, and adaptability to peaty and wet soils. This makes it a safe and long-lasting choice, even under challenging conditions.

Sociable with clover and herbs

Baranova has a more open growth habit, providing space for mixtures with clover or herbs. This supports biodiversity, soil fertility, and sustainable forage production.

Healthy and clean

With good rust resistance, Baranova ensures high forage quality and excellent palatability throughout the season.
