Silage and Hay
Silahay™ is targeted to those farmers whom are looking for a lower cost ryegrass and clover mix that will provide early establishment vigour with high quality bulk for silage and hay in the spring.
For early production dry seed prior to the break where paddocks are clean and you are comfortable with the risk.
To encourage increased tillering ensure plants are not prone to pulling then graze at 6 to 8cm high. This will increase the clover component which will add quality to the later crop of silage or hay.
Apply spring fertiliser to promote bulk growth. Cut mid spring for silage, late spring for hay.
By using the Silahay™ mixture, with near equal proportions of Diploid and Tetraploid ryegrasses plus uncoated clovers, increased plant numbers will be sown compared to mixtures based around Tetraploid ryegrasses and coated clovers sown at the same rate per ha.
