Finefeed diploid annual ryegrass is a fine-leaved ryegrass with high tiller density allowing quick recovery from heavy grazing. A robust all-rounder suited to a range of environments, especially tough environments that are not suited to tetraploids.
Suitable for all livestock types.
Agronomy Guidelines
| Paddock preparations | Can be direct drilled or sown into a cultivated seedbed. Can be oversown into existing pasture sward. Cultivate the 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. |
| Fertilizer | 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. |
