Pasture Herbs

ADDING VARIETY AND QUALITY TO A PASTURE

PLANTAIN Plantago lanceolata

Plantain is a fibrous rooted perennial pasture herb capable of growing in a wide range of soil types and under varying fertility levels. It is highly palatable to stock and very high in minerals. Plantain can be sown in mixtures with any legume, grass or other herb.

Rainfall: 550mm+ or Irrigation Seed count: 500,000/kg Sowing rate: 2-3kg/Ha Mixes

ECOTAIN

Ecotain is a flexible perennial herb adapted to many climates and soil types. Efficient in extracting nutrients from the soil, Ecotain offers high quality feed, multiple grazings and high yields.

CHICORY Cichorium intybus

Chicory is a deep rooted short-lived perennial herb. It is summer active, producing highly palatable feed from spring through to autumn where it is an ideal crop for supplementing stock and increasing animal intake and performance. Chicory has the ability to perform well in free draining acid soils making it a suitable alternative to lucerne where soil acidity is an issue. Due to its upright nature and preference to grazing stock, persistence and performance is maximised under rotational grazing and will perform exceptionally well under good fertility.

Rainfall: 550+ or Irrigation Seed count: 850,000/kg Sowing rate mix: 1-4 kg/ha Sowing rate alone: 6-8kg/ha
