Are there any other High Sugar Grass varieties available other than those used in SucraSEED?
IGER pioneered the concept of High Sugar Grass over 20 years ago and has also evaluated its development in ruminant trials. IGER scientists have the distinction of being the first breeders in the world to gain the UK National Recommended List approval for a variety that was specifically bred to contain high levels of sugar. As a result of growing recognition of the importance of high quality forages, several of the world’s leading breeding programs are looking to introduce varieties with high sugar content; however, this will take a number of years.
