New RGCL 2025-26

RGCL 2025/26 now available

The 2025/2026 Recommended Grass and Clover Lists (RGCL) for England and Wales have now been released. 

The thirteen new varieties add strength to the options available to farmers, as they continue to improve production efficiency, as well as environmental and economic sustainability. The 13 new varieties include two white clover, one red clover, two Italian ryegrass and eight perennial ryegrass varieties. 

The RGCL 2025/26 guide provides technical information for each variety and general information to help farmers manage reseeds and maximise the productivity of their swards.

N.B. There is a single RGCL this year. This replaces the Handbook and Merchants versions that were published in previous years.
