SPS Equinewise® Brome Blend

The Brome blend is perfectly suited to the equine industry due to the grass species in this blend having exceptional tolerance to hard grazing. The main component is Exceltas coloured brome which is highly productive densely tillered winter active grass. It is combined with cocksfoot which is extremely persistent once established providing a strong grass base pasture through autumn, winter and spring. Lucerne and sub clover are also included in the blend to increase the quality. This blend is suited to free draining soils and will not tolerate low lying areas that wet during winter. These varieties are slower to establish so particular care must be taken at establishment stage.   Contents: Exceltas brome Yarck II Cocksfoot Titan 5 lucerne                                                                                                                                                                       Coolamon sub clover   Sowing rate: 30 kg/ha   Rainfall: 500+   Soils: Light/ Medium fert   Establishment:   Slow   Persistence: 5+   Please note: All equine pastures MUST be rested throughout the year and should never be overgrazed during the summer period.

SPS Equinewise® Tall Fescue Blend

The Tall Fescue Blend (summer active) is ideal for areas that have full irrigation or receive summer rainfall. This blend provides the opportunity to produce quality feed through the summer period, providing adequate moisture, whereas most other cooler season grasses cannot. Fescue has a very deep root structure therefore is slower to establish when compared with ryegrass. Particular attention must be taken at sowing to ensure success. Clover has been added to the blend to further improve quality. Hay production is also an option for this blend once established. This blend would suit any low lying paddocks that may be wet during winter.   Contents: Hummer LE tall fescue Palestine strawberry clover White clover Sowing rate: 30kg/ha Rainfall: 650+ Soils: Clay/Heavy/High Fert   Establishment:  Slow Persistence: 5+   Please note: All equine pastures MUST be rested throughout the year and should never be overgrazed during the summer period.
