Strata

Description

Strata Orchardgrass is a high-yielding, late-maturing forage grass. It has superior palatability and is well adapted to diverse growing conditions. It responds well to rotational grazing and managed harvest schedules, with first cut recommended at the boot to early head stage, followed by subsequent cuts every 5-6 weeks. Proper fertilization can enhance production. When encorporated into a mixture it can be very aggressive if the seeding rate is not lowered.

Key Features

  • Excellent winterhardiness, persistence & vigor
  • Superior leaf disease
  • Increased palatability & stand persistence
  • Late maturing, keeps quality between harvests
  • Suitable for hay, silage or grazing
