FEATURES
- A high production quality mixture which can be cut up to three times in a season using varieties that combine high yield and good D-value.
- Can also be used as a mixture for early and late grazing with silage cut.
BENEFITS
- Italian and hybrid ryegrasses ensure early spring growth combined with a high yield.
- Good spread of tetraploids and diploids give winter hardiness and a tighter sward.
- Highly palatable grass is ensured with good ground cover.
- Will be persistent for three to four years.
MANAGEMENT
- Cut at or around first ear emergence followed by second and perhaps a third.
- Can be grazed intensively all season.
- Intensive management is essential to avoid the sward going stemmy; high input = high output.
ADDITIONAL POINTS
- Useful for sowing as a shorter term rotational grass.
- Red clover can be included.
