Yambuk diploid Italian ryegrass has been developed for exceptional winter and spring production. The late heading makes it suitable for longer growing seasons and is ideal for producing high-quality hay and silage.
The fine diploid leaves make it a great option for heavier grazing systems.
Suitable for sheep, beef and dairy.


AGRONOMY GUIDELINES
Paddock preparations | Can 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 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 may improve the establishment. The use of phosphorus fertiliser annually may improve the longevity of the stand. |
Grazing management | Pasture 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. |
