SKU#: PID01572
Manta has parents from a pool of successful New Zealand Italian cultivars along with genetics from Spain. Though Manta is nil endophyte, it often demonstrates strong second winter growth habit, making it ideal for undersowing into thinning or run-out pastures. Note though, Manta’s survival through a second summer is dependent on the region and Argentine stem weevil populations.
