Agronomy Guidelines:
|
Paddock preparations
|
Can be direct drilled or sown into a cultivated seedbed. Can be oversown into existing pasture sward. Cultivate seed bed if the ground is uneven.
|
|
Sowing depth
|
Shallow (10-15mm), using a roller will ensure good seed-soil contact and improve germination rates.
|
|
Weed control
|
A weed-free seedbed allows for better establishment results. The use of herbicides prior to sowing can alleviate competition from weeds. Speak to your local agronomist for herbicide recommendations.
|
|
Fertilizer
|
The use of fertiliser at sowing will improve the establishment and yield of pasture.
|
|
Grazing management
|
Pasture should not be grazed until adequately anchored (can not be pulled out easily). Ryegrass is better suited to rotational grazing, allowing plants to re-grow to the 2-3 leaf stage before grazing again.
