Seed is used for pasture, hay production, erosion control, lawns, roadsides, and many other uses.

Sow unhulled couch seed at 2-4 kg/ha during spring-summer (October-January) when soil temperature exceeds 20°C. Surface sow or shallow drill to no more than 1 cm depth into firm, moist, weed-free soil and press lightly to ensure good soil contact. Keep moist during the extended establishment period; germination is slower than hulled couch. Tips: Unhulled couch retains the hull (seed coat), which naturally delays germination as the hull breaks down over time — expect a more staggered and slower germination than hulled seed. Once established, couch spreads vigorously via runners. Keep couch contained from neighbouring areas or crops via mowing borders or physical barriers.
