Additional Information:
A non ryegrass mixture of highly palatable species providing good yields on low input, light, free draining soils where ryegrass can burn up in prolonged periods of dry weather. Meadow Fescue and Cocksfoot can produce higher early and mid season yields than a 100% ryegrass mixture receiving little or no fertiliser. Regularly grazing is important to keep the deep rooting Cocksfoot in a palatable and leafy condition. The sward will stand continuous grazing however, periodic rest to allow time for unrestricted re-growth is recommended. This pasture is also suited to producing an occasional hay crop after its first establishment year..
