Summer dormant pasture with AgriCote seed coating.

Rainfall: 650mm+       pH range: 4.5 – 8.0       Soil type: Wide range

Renovator® GT has been developed as a long-term, productive and persistent pasture for extensive cattle and sheep enterprises. It has the resilience of the most highly grazing tolerant phalaris, a hardy cocksfoot, with the cool season productivity of an early heading perennial ryegrass. The clovers are highly productive as well as being prolific re-seeders. Renovator® GT will suit a wide range of soil types, modest as well as higher rainfall areas, will cope with dry years and continue to be productive in the longer term.

What’s on the tag is in the bag.

Each bag of our Renovator range comes with a sewn in tag that states which varieties have been included in the blend and the percentage of the blend that it makes up. This gives you the confidence of knowing what has gone into the mix and that you are getting what you paid for!

• Medium leaved white clover suited to all grazing systems
• Good growth in all seasons, particularly through autumn & winter
• High stolon growing point density
• High tolerance to clover root weevil

Key benefits

• High levels of dry-matter production for high quality livestock forage
• Enables nitrogen fixation to drive grass-growth
• Strong spreading habit with high stolon density for good persistence

Key features

• Mid-late diploid perennial ryegrass
• Highest performing perennial ryegrass released by Barenbrug
• Excellent warm season growth and heat tolerance
• Densely tillered and persistent
• Adaptable and reliable over years of testing & development

Key benefits

• Unrivalled forage production means Maxsyn will deliver greater returns to your farming system through producing more low cost ‘home grown feed’
• The season growth curve benefits fill critical feed gaps in both autumn and spring calving/lambing systems in southern Australia, reducing supplementary feed costs
• Greater persistence, through the combination of tiller density, genetic background and NEA4 endophyte means less renewal and renovation saving you money & time

Application

Maxsyn has been developed by Barenbrug for over 14 years and has demonstrated; excellent performance, reliability and adaptability across key temperate perennial ryegrass regions. It is particularly suited to 650mm–900mm/yr rainfall environments due to its maturity and persistence but will perform well under irrigation & other high rainfall systems. The high tiller density, while aiding persistence, also makes it suitable for areas prone to pugging, when compared with more open diploid or tetraploid cultivars. Maxsyn is an all-round performer making it suitable for beef, sheep and dairy systems due to its combination of persistence, seasonal growth, overall performance and maturity. Maxsyn’s strong seasonal growth in winter, early spring, summer & autumn makes it ideal for farmers wanting to fill feed gaps at those critical periods. Maxsyn compliments later maturing varieties, like Bealey NEA2, by complimenting total farm growth curves.

Agronomy and management

Sow March – June or August/September (reliable areas)

* Higher sowing rates will increase establishment yield but have little benefits to yield post early spring in the first year. In most situations higher sowing rates lead to economic returns.

• Graze young plants lightly, once they resist pulling, usually 6–10 weeks after sowing (depending on sowing time & soil temperature). This causes plants to re-tiller & aids first year production.
• Re-graze on leaf stage, aiming at 2 ½ – 3.0 leaves per tiller.
• Ensure daughter tiller development in late spring/early summer to aid summer persistence and maintain critical ground covers and rotation length (c. >35–45 days in hot summer regions).
• Maintain critical soil nutrient concentrations for production & persistence.
• Consider sowing Maxsyn with Storm AgriCote white clover (3–5 kg/ha) to provide a nitrogen source & late season/summer quality in paddocks where N fertiliser use is < 200 kg N/ha/yr.

An ideal lawn when quick cover at an economical price is required.  Perfect for home lawns, parks & landscapes where hardiness is required.

This blend is dark green in colour and has a great texture. Perennial ryegrass will establish rapidly and gives the turf superior wear resistance.

A COOL SEASON BLEND:

• 50% Perennial Ryegrass
• 40% Annual Ryegrass
• 10% Creeping Red Fescue
• Wetting Agent: This blend contains granular wetting agent to assist in moisture retention

Optimum Sowing Temperature:  Between 15 and 25 degrees celsius.

Recommended sowing in AUTUMN and SPRING

COOL SEASON grasses are at their best during the spring and autumn periods and will maintain green colour with irrigation in hotter months.

Grass Type Characteristics:

• Establishment Rate: (in Ideal Conditions): Very Fast, 7-10 days
• Drought Tolerance: Moderate
• Shade Tolerance: Good
• Heat Tolerance: Moderate
• Wear Tolerance/Pet Tolerance: Low
• Frost Tolerance: Excellent

Quality Rating:

Economical Lawn Surface ***

Leaf Width

• Fine (<3mm)

Use:

Home Lawn, Park, Landscape

Pack Sizes:  1, 5, 10, 20 kg

Sowing Rate:

New Sowing: 3 – 4kg per 100m²

Oversowing Existing Lawn: Use approximately half new sowing rate

Germination Time: In Optimal Conditions you may see germination in 7-10 days.  Note: When sowing out of season this can take longer.

Watering:

*During the first 30 days watering may be necessary 3-4 times a day.  Seed should not be allowed to dry out.

All lawns need water in dry periods.  Landscape Range Budget Blend lawns will need additional irrigation in hot Summer months.  Water at least twice a week – more frequently in extreme weather weeks.  Handy tip: If you walk on your lawn and it doesn’t spring back – it needs water.

Preferred Soil Type:

Optimum Soil Type is Sandy Loam.  A good seed bed is the key to a great lawn.

Starter Fertiliser:

• We recommend KickStart – a Starter Fertiliser to ensure successful germination.
• Apply 3kg of fertiliser per 100sqm (30 g/m2)
• Click here to view our Landscape Range KickStart Fertiliser
• When mowing commences switch to a regular maintenance fertiliser like Landscape Range All Season Reno or Landscape Range Gold Pro at least once every season.

Mowing:

First mow: When well established at around 40-50mm height.
