WHERE IT FITS
Avatar is a high yielding tetraploid with exceptional palatability for all stock types. With its high winter yields it is well suited for all farm types and when mixed with a diploid like Raider, Ultra or Matrix, its persistence is expected to be well over 7-8 years. It accommodates clovers very well due to its upright appearance and growth habit leaving room for a very high quality sward.
