Anywhere is a Mediterranean tall fescue. Being winter active it produces excellent dry matter production through the colder months. As the name suggests Anywhere is suited to a range of soil types and climates. It can handle waterlogging and periods of low rainfall.
Excellent seedling vigour compared to other fescue varieties ensures a successful establishment and integrates well with sub clovers in the sward. It has no endophyte which makes it safe for grazing horses and alpacas. Suitable for sheep, beef, dairy and equine.
AGRONOMY GUIDELINES
| Paddock preparations | Best sown into a cultivated seedbed but can be direct drilled. Cultivate seed bed if ground is uneven. |
| Sowing depth | Shallow (5-15mm), 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. Tall fescue is slow to establish and should be monitored throughout its early establishment phase for both weeds and insect pests. |
| Fertiliser | The use of fertiliser at sowing may improve the establishment. The use of phosphorus fertiliser annually may improve the longevity of the stand. |
| Grazing management | Tall fescue is a slow to establish species and therefore should be allowed plenty of time to establish. Only very light grazing in the first year is recommended to encourage tillering. Once established grazing should be managed to maintained clovers in the pasture. Does not require a rest period to induce dormancy. |
