Tempo offers farmers the ultimate in pasture performance with faster establishment, improved winter growth and bigger pasture yields than any other diploid Italian ryegrass on the market.

Tempo is suitable for grazing, hay or silage and will carry-through into a second year under favourable conditions.

Key features:

Late-heading diploid Italian ryegrass
Rapid establishment with good winter growth
Superior total yield. Tempo has topped 9 out of 17 diploid Italian trials for total yield
Good 2nd year yield under favourable conditions

Key benefits:

A more productive and profitable pasture
Faster to establish than other Italian ryegrasses for fodder when you need it most (heading into winter)
Confidence that if seasonal conditions are favourable, Tempo will persist into the second year for another productive pasture

Sowing rates:

For best results sow Tempo at
22–28 kg/ha into a clean, weed-free
seed-bed with adequate soil fertility.

Sowing depth:

Ryegrass can be sown at 5–20 mm,
however if sowing in a mix with clover, try
to keep the sowing depth from 5–10mm.

Sow Barenbrug Tempo Italian ryegrass at 20–25 kg/ha during April–May in the Gympie region (March sowing possible in cooler hinterland areas). Apply 60–100 kg/ha MAP or DAP at sowing to establish strong root development and early growth. Use the anchor test before first grazing: pull a plant at grazing height—if it stays firmly in the ground, it's ready. Implement rotational grazing at the 2.5–3 leaf stage, allowing adequate rest between cycles to recharge carbohydrate reserves. Tips: Barenbrug Tempo is a consistently high-yielding tetraploid variety that topped performance across multiple QLD, NSW and VIC trials. Tetraploid ryegrasses have larger seeds, wider leaves, and superior palatability compared to diploid types. Italian ryegrass works best when sown alone rather than mixed with modern perennial ryegrasses. Ideal for oversowing into run-down summer pastures to bridge the winter feed gap in SE Queensland.
