DLF Seeds Ryecorn Southern Green G/Prot - Per Kg (25kg bag)
FOR ORDERS OVER 500KG PLEASE CONTACT THE TOZER STREET STORE DIRECT ON (07) 5482 1692
Southern Green ryecorn is an exceptionally fast establishing grazing option particularly when sown late into cold conditions.
Providing early feed, Southern Green is ready to graze three weeks before oats and will offer multiple grazing opportunities when managed correctly.
Unlike common ryecorn, Southern Green produces high quality feed at a time when feed is in short supply.
Highly palatable whilst in the vegetative stage, Southern Green is grazed preferentially before oats in early winter but can become unpalatable in spring because stems are more fibrous than those of other cereals.
