Batlle GOLD
“Range of forage mixtures with 100% of ryegrass”
Based exclusively on ryegrass, at least with 2 diploid varieties and 2 other ones tetraploid for alternative use of ryegrass as extreme crop.
DESCRIPTION
• Range of mixtures based on different types of tetraploid and diploid ryegrasses, from high quality varieties, that assure high yields and quick establishment. Batlle´s genetics of wester, italian and hybrid ryegrasses are the guarantee of adaptability to the different soil and climatic of the Iberian Peninsula.
MANAGEMENT
• Sowing season: autumn, from september to november (exceptionally also in spring to the Batlle GOLD hybrid/perennial, from february to april).
• Establishment: 35 to 70 units of N; 50 to 90 units of P2O5; 50 to 90 units of K2O.
• Top dressing: 50 to 80 units of N after each cut and/or grazing (betweennovember and january or between may andjuly, depending on the yields).
• First cut /grazing: when the soil allows, with the ryegrass with 8 to 10 leaves. This cut also is used to bad weed control and mixture homogeneity.
• Cuts and grazing: the crop implementation occurs during first year, and the cuts/grazing it may be made in 2 to 3 months interval, depending on the climatology evolution.
