Rainfall:
Stabiliser Blend performs best in medium to heavy soils, receiving at least 575mm winter based rainfall or irrigation. However Stabiliser Blend will provide significant stability and production even in light soils and down to 300mm winter rainfall.
Sowing:
Sow Stabiliser Blend with adequate soil moisture in early autumn at 10–20mm. Seed bed should be well prepared and firm for maximum production.
Sowing Rates:
Sow at between 25–35kg per hectare. For surface sowing or poor seed beds use higher rates. Reduce rates in more stable areas.
Fertiliser:
Use soil testing to plan your fertiliser needs. Drilling with a starter fertiliser gives seedlings immediate access to nutrients to achieve great winter growth. Yields will be further improved by applications of nitrogen.
A starter fertiliser is recommended with all new seed sowing. When mowing commences switch to a regular maintenance fertiliser (like Landscape Range All Seasons Fertiliser or Landscape Range Super Green at least once every season.
Grazing:
Grazing should commence after plants have established, usually 6 to 8 weeks after sowing. Once established graze hard in rotation.
