Sow Tom Grady Summer Cover Crop Mix at 10-15 kg/ha during spring (September-November) in SE Queensland when soil temperatures exceed 15°C. Ensure the seed makes good contact with moist soil by light harrowing or rolling after sowing. For best establishment, sow into clean seedbeds or existing pastures that have been grazed or slashed to reduce competition. Allow 6-8 weeks for germination and initial growth before introducing livestock. Tips: Inoculate seed with the appropriate Rhizobium strain before sowing to ensure effective nitrogen fixation. Maintain adequate soil moisture during establishment, particularly in the first 4-6 weeks. Avoid heavy grazing during the first 3 months to allow root development and plant establishment. Consider oversowing into existing perennial grass pastures for improved pasture quality and nitrogen contribution.
