Important Information
-
Details
Blade Italian ryegrass is suitable for short term pastures (1-2 years) or for over-sowing into run-out or damaged pastures to extend their life.
It is very late heading (+24 days), with very good disease resistance and will maintain feed quality for up to ten days longer into spring/summer than traditional Italian ryegrass varieties. This makes it ideally suited for improved milk yields and livestock finishing around this time. -
Suitability and use
Recommended for use with all high performance systems and livestock types (sheep, cattle, horses, deer, and goats) as a specialist short term (1-2 year) pasture, or for over-sowing into run-out or damaged pastures to extend their life.
