Robbos has relatively soft orange-yellow bulbs, suitable for grazing by all stock types. Its high leaf quality can also help with transitioning stock onto beet.
Above ground %
Robbos bulbs typically sit 45-50% out of the ground, and their good palatability make them easy for stock to graze. The high proportion of above ground DM ensures less soil ingestion and very high utilisation.
Good leaf keeping ability
Robbos has very good leaf keeping ability through autumn, winter and early spring. This is important because the leaf contains a high percentage of the crop’s protein.
Fodder beet (Beta vulgaris) is typically sown in spring (October to late November) for a high yielding winter crop which can be used as either a single graze option from May to August.
