Usage instructions
| Rate | 13kg/acre (32kg/ha) |
| Time | April-September |
| Depth | 10-15mm |
| Process | Cultivate to achieve a fine, firm seedbed. Ploughing will help level rough fields. Sow in good conditions (warm with rain forecast), no deeper than 10-15mm. Roll well after sowing to ensure good soil/seed contact. Target use of lime, farmyard manure, and slurry to correct soil fertility issues. |
| Comments | Monitor for pest attack and take immediate action where necessary. Graze the new reseeds frequently and at low covers (<1200kg DM/ha) to assist in tillering and help create a dense sward. |
