Hunter Leaf Turnip

Hunter is a quick-growing leafy turnip with minimal bulb development. It is best suited to multiple grazing’s for summer and early autumn. It reaches its growth potential in summer under irrigation and matures quickly with the first grazing possible at 6-8 weeks. It is a high-quality forage, providing extreme weight gain in animals and was bred for tolerance to turnip and cauliflower mosaic virus.

This, combined with vigorous regrowth selection, has provided a variety with fast recovery from grazing and an ability to yield in the second, third, and sometimes fourth regrowth. Hunter is best suited to heavier soil conditions with periodic summer moisture or irrigation.
