Jumbo exhibits erect growth with large leaves and late maturity. Cold injury ratings performed in Ardmore, OK prove Jumbo to have superior winter-hardiness. Disease screenings performed at Beaumont, TX and Gainesville, FL prove Jumbo to have superior resistance to gray leaf spot and crown rust. Jumbo not only delivers higher yields with a larger plant, it also delivers higher quality forage through disease and weather resistance.

Annual Ryegrass is normally planted from September through November. The recommended seeding rate is 20 to 30 lbs. per acre in a well-prepared seedbed. The ideal sowing depth is 1/4 in. Broadcasting and no-till are two of the most popular planting methods. Once established, grazing a Jumbo pasture should commence at a height of 8 to 9 in. Rotational grazing will provide the best yield results, however, Ryegrass will tolerate close and continuous grazing. Ryegrass responds to nitrogen and is tolerant of moderate soil acidity.
In high rainfall areas of the gulf coast, high production can be expected throughout the winter from November to May. Farther north, most of the production is from late February through May.
