    Evoke tetraploid annual ryegrass has been selected for improved later-season growth whilst still producing high-quality feed through winter and spring.

    Evoke combines annual and Italian ryegrass genetics which gives this variety the ability to establish quickly, produce high-quality winter feed and hold onto quality later in the season.

    Suitable for sheep, beef, and dairy.

    AGRONOMY GUIDELINES
    Paddock preparationsCan be direct drilled or sown into a cultivated seedbed. Can be over-sown into existing pasture sward. Cultivate seed bed if the ground is uneven.
    Sowing depthShallow (10-15mm). Using a roller will ensure good seed-soil contact and improve germination rates.
    Weed controlA 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.
    FertiliserThe use of fertiliser at sowing may improve the establishment. The use of phosphorus fertiliser annually may improve the longevity of the stand.
    Grazing managementPasture should not be grazed until adequately anchored (can not be pulled out easily). Ryegrass is better suited to rotational grazing. Allow plants to re-grow to the 2-3 leaf stage before grazing again.
