This mix contains the following products
AusVic
AusVic is a low endophyte perennial ryegrass bred for increased winter production, persistence and high speed yield. AusVic has been specifically designed to reduce staggers in sheep, cattle and other grazing animals by greatly reducing the endophyte level.
It is a versatile, persistent variety of ryegrass suitable for prolific feed production under a wide range of dry land farm conditions.
Sowing rate:
15-20 kg/ha alone
10-15 kg/ha with clovers
- Diploid
- 500mm+
Uplands
Uplands is a fine leaved Mediterranean cocksfoot with high tiller density and a very high level of drought and cold tolerance. It is a winter active and partially summer dormant variety that persists well under grazing, producing a large bulk of high protein, high energy forage that is highly palatable.
Best adapted for sowing in low rainfall temperate areas, Uplands grows rapidly in autumn to late spring and is very tolerant of aluminium and acid soils.
Sowing rate:
4-5 kg/ha alone
2-4 kg/ha with early maturing sub clovers
- 350mm+
Yarck II
Yarck II is an Australian bred cocksfoot with good seedling vigour, improved establishment and strong winter growth. Yarck II has also demonstrated excellent summer activity with good response to summer rainfall. Similar to Porto Currie, Yarck II also displays strong all-round persistence.
Sowing rate:
5-10 kg/ha alone
1-5 kg/ha in a mix
- 400mm+
Urana
A black-seeded variety with very high hard seed levels and exceptional vigour in autumn and winter, Urana sub clover is adaptable for wide-spread use in cropping and pasture rotations, with increased dry matter production and strong red legged earthmite resistance – resulting in stronger seedling growth.
Sowing rate:
10-20 kg/ha alone
6-10 kg/ha in a mix
- 400mm+
Riverina
Riverina is a yellow seeded sub clover variety producing moderate hard seed levels and large seed sizes to ensure vigour and establishment. Its resistance to root rot and clover scorch gives it a superior advantage over Trikkala, and it is equally suited to dryland or irrigated areas over a wide range of soils. Riverina performs better in autumn and winter than other varieties and offers strong drymatter production to boot.
Sowing rate:
10-20 kg/ha alone
6-10 kg/ha in a mix
- 500mm+
Coolamon
A black seeded sub clover variety with high seed production and hard seed levels, Coolamon offers improved seedling regeneration with dense swards for higher herbage development. This high yielding species has good resistance to clover scorch and improved winter and spring production. Ideally Coolamon is suited for sowing with Riverina in hay or grazing pasture mixes.
