If you are looking for a cost effective, short term pasture or a reliable option for undersowing into worn out perennial pastures, Supercruise is the grass for you.
Sowing and Establishment
Supercruise Italian ryegrass may be used as a specialist feed sown at a minimum of 18 kg/ha or undersown into existing pasture at a minimum of 10-15 kg/ha with Superstrike® treated seed to improve establishment.
Pasture Life: North Island 12-18 months; South Island 18-24 months
Grazing Management
Supercruise Italian ryegrass is best suited to rotational grazing. For best persistence, avoid hard grazing over summer.
Daniel has used Supercruise as a 'forage crop' to provide bulk-quality feed on the main station and run-off block on the Taieri. As a crop it is allowing 12-24 months feed while allowing the opportunity to clean up weed issues for lucerne and permanent pasture. The run-off block is primarily for finishing cattle/silage and the Supercruise on the station is for all stock.
