FEATURES
- Designed as dual-purpose ley for sowing as a rotational mixture.
- Will perform under intensive or extensive management systems.
BENEFITS
- Can be pushed to give a high yield of digestible silage or grazing.
- Maintains good ground cover through the inclusion of a diploid ryegrass.
- Tetraploids ensure winter hardiness and palatability.
MANAGEMENT
- Responds to a high input of nitrogen and can be silaged at the end of May or early June to achieve best quality at first cut, going on to produce a high yielding second cut or late season grazing.
ADDITIONAL POINTS
- Timothy can be added if this mixture is required for hay or sheep grazing in less intensive management situations.
- If establishment year bulk is required in a direct reseed situation the hybrid content could be increased or Italian ryegrass could be added.
