Matua Prairie Grass
Estimated Delivery between April 24 and April 26.
Matua Prairie Grass is a specialist forage grass originally developed for New Zealand conditions. It performs particularly well through the cooler months (autumn, winter, spring) while also maintaining good palatability and performance into warmer seasons. It is especially suited to free-draining soils with moderate to good fertility and offers a valuable option when looking for feed resilience and diversification in pasture systems.
| Persistence | Up to 3 years |
|---|---|
| endophyte | Nil |
| Sowing rate |
6-12kg per hectare in a mix |
| heading date | Early |
| Best used for | Grazing, Hay, Silage |
- Provides good early spring growth.
- Extends the productive season of your pasture by filling the feed gap in cooler months and maintaining quality into the warmer season.
- Adds resilience to your grazing system - especially useful in free-draining soils or where summer feed drop-off is an issue.
- Improves feed quality and animal performance thanks to its palatable, leafy growth habit.
- Provides a diversification option in pasture mixes, reducing reliance on ryegrass-only swards and improving overall pasture stability.
