Pasture Mixes From Heritage Seeds
Floodplain Heavy Soil Mix : Suited to heavier, black self-mulching and grey floodplain country of northern NSW. The productivity of Rhodes and Panic is enhanced by the black soil adaptation of creeping bluegrass, increasing persistence and ground cover in very wet or dry seasons. The late season quality . . . → Read More: Tropical Pasture Mixes For Beef Cattle And Sheep Livestock Production: Arrotas provides high quality green feed for stock late in the season. This gives it the ability to maintain high lamb growth rates into summer. In experiments conducted by DPI Victoria at Hamilton, in 2004-06, lambs grazing pure Arrotas maintained higher growth rates from November to late December than lambs grazing either . . . → Read More: Establishment Recommendations For Arrowleaf Clover For High Rain Fall Areas Arrotas arrowleaf clover (Trifolium vesiculosum) is characterised by high growth and nutritive value during spring and early summer. Arrotas can provide high quality green feed for grazing animals late in the season when many other pastures have senesced, but it has poor winter production. Other benefits of Arrotas include increased soil nitrogen, and . . . → Read More: Arrowleaf Clover Pastures For High Rain Fall Areas Seed dormancy is common in some species and ‘primary’ dormancy (sometimes called post-harvest dormancy) is usually associated with either the physical structures that surround the seed (lemma, palea and glumes) preventing moisture reaching the seed, or chemical inhibition that declines with time, or mechanisms within the embryo. As a result, seed samples can . . . → Read More: High Rainfall Perennial Grass- Seed Dormancy Successful establishment of sown tropical perennial grass pastures is highly dependent on the quality of the seed sown. Quality can vary markedly, so you need to know what you are buying – often it is a case of ‘buyer beware’. Always ask for a copy of a current certificate of seed analysis for the . . . → Read More: Tropical Perennial Grasses- High Rainfall Areas The first grazing of perennial ryegrass should be delayed until seedlings are firmly established and feed-on-offer has reached about 1800 kg DM/ha to avoid stock pulling plants out of the ground. Use a heavy stocking rate for a short period to promote the development of new tillers and graze down to ~1200 kg DM/ha. . . . → Read More: Management Of Perennial Ryegrass In High Rainfall |
