A versatile diploid with fine leaves and dense tillers bred to cater for a range of environments. Rely is a resilient option that can tolerate lower soil fertility and periods of set stocking.
Ideal for diary and intensive sheep and beef farms in more challenging environments. Mid-season heading (day 0). Rely will go the distance yielding and persisting, year after year.
Rely perennial ryegrass can be sown at 15-25 kg/ha with Superstrike® treated clover.
Rely perennial ryegrass will produce and persist better under rotational grazing. Avoid hard set stocking during periods of stress (e.g. droughts, low soil fertility and insect attack).
Rely perennial ryegrass combines well with other components of a pasture mix (e.g. short rotation ryegrass, cocksfoot, Grasslands Puna II chicory and clover).
Dairy Pasture Mix

Sheep and Beef Pasture Mix
Rely perennial ryegrass 21 kg/ha
Quartz white clover 2 kg/ha

For increased animal performance, nitrogen fixation and pasture management, add Amigain red clover to pasture mixes at 4-6 kg/ha.
Jess has found Rely to work well under both set stocking and rotational grazing. Jess set stocked their triplet bearing ewes on 9 ha where the ewes put on condition. Through summer Jess had fat lambs on rotation between Rely and native pastures and found Rely could handle a higher stocking rate and bounced back faster. Rely will be used in their pasture renewal programme because of its persistency and excellent regrowth.
