BARENBRUG RHODES GRASS CALLIDE COATED SEED (SPR) PER KG 20100013
| Quantity |
|---|
Callide can be used as permanent pasture or as a short- to medium-term pasture ley to restore soil structure, improve organic matter levels and reduce nematode numbers.
Can also be under sown into maize. Makes good hay if cut at or just before very early flowering (although Katambora is generally considered to produce the best quality hay).
Generally not suitable for silage. Provides fair standover roughage when mature, better than Cenchrus ciliaris and Panicum maximum due to its greater cold resistance and lower loss of dry leaves.
Develops good ground cover and effectively controls erosion once established (needs regular defoliation to maintain cover).
Also effectively suppresses woody weed regrowth provided trees and shrubs are not well established prior to planting the grass.
Found in open woodland and grassland, riverine and lake margins, and seasonally waterlogged plains, on a wide range of soils. Recovers well after fire.
Key features:
Highly palatable, very late flowering and productive stoloniferous grass
Well suited to companion legumes such as Siratro and B1 Burgundy
Ideal for quality grazing and/or hay making
