Brief Description: Very high yielding short term silage ley
Duration:  1 year only

Mixture:
   8.00 kg certified Aubade Westerwolds ryegrass
   6.00 kg certified Gemini tetraploid Italian ryegrass
 
Additional Information:
The most suitable grass seed mixture for emergency forage production. Westerwolds and Italian ryegrass are extremely quick to establish and can produce very high yields in only 10-12 weeks from initial sowing. Ideal where silage or grazing forage may be short following severe crop losses due to hard winter kill, flooding, drought or summer burn on lighter land. Late summer sowings as a catch crop (particularly after maize) will produce early grazing in the following spring or several high yield silage cuts (for that year only). Westerwolds and Italian ryegrass compliment each other perfectly in a short term cutting ley as both grasses respond extremely well to high nitrogen applications. Westerwolds is the highest yielding agricultural grass species and although Italian ryegrass produces slightly lower yields it suffers less from hard winter kill.
