About the mix
Fast Growing 2 Year Mix
Italian ryegrass generally grows productively for two years. It is relatively inexpensive and fulfill a number of roles with it being especially suited to short term conservation. It has a long growing season and can be grazed early in spring and late in the autumn. It is often used as “catch crop” – under sown in spring cereals at 5kg/acre and grazed in the autumn. It is very responsive to nitrogen.
