Additional Information:
Meadow Foxtail establishes best in damp or moist soils. An extremely
resilient and hardy grass. In grazing pastures it can produce very early spring
growth and is an excellent constituent of meadow hay. The most reliable establishment is obtained from
spring to early autumn sowings into a warm soil. Meadow Foxtail may be introduced into grassland providing the area is well prepared. The existing grass must be topped
or grazed very short then repeatedly harrowed to expose sufficient soil as to create a seedbed. The seeds should be surface sown and the area lightly rolled to consolidate the ground ensuring the seeds are in good contact with the soil. Occasional
topping prevents developing seedlings from becoming smothered during
establishment. Avoid grazing in its first year.
