Performance Seeds Demonstrations

MARA is collaborating with Performance Seeds, based out of Lethbridge, to test out forage cereals developed by TriCal Superior Forage. These cereals include Gainer, Flex and Hybrid Surge Triticale, Oats, Barley and some cereal mixes (Triple Crown mix and Diverse mix).

Our team is conducting a comprehensive evaluation on Supra sorghum, Supra hay (Sudan grass), BMR sorghum and hybrid forage sorghum. These are being rigorously tested and compared to a BMR corn hybrid for forage quality and biomass yield, ensuring a thorough assessment.

Apart from these evaluations, MARA is evaluating the effect of Nutrient Plus (a biocatalyst) on Barley for silage/forage yield and quality. The catalyst can be used as a seed treatment in the furrow and foliar spray.
