Sowing, Establishment & Maintenance Tips:

  • Rainfall: 450mm+  
  • 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.  
  • Fertiliser: 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.
