Take the opportunity this autumn to grow high quality feed with autumn sown Pallaton Raphno® to complement your dual purpose canola crop.
Sow Pallaton and take your brassica lamb/beef finishing operation to the next level and increase your live weight production per hectare Pallaton is a new brassica species (a forage radish kale cross) that is designed to increase your livestock production per hectare and produce out of season feed with its large taproot system and drought tolerance. It's designed for animal grazing, and in this respect is not dissimilar to dual purpose canola.
When cereals and canola are locked up and unavailable for grazing, autumn sown Pallaton can produce high quality feed for multiple grazings (increase in ME and crude protein compared to cereals).
A recent paper published by the CSIRO discussing "The potential of forage brassicas to produce herbage for mixed farming systems" identified that forage brassicas can be used as an alternative for dual purpose canola in the mixed farming zone.
For more information on autumn sown Pallaton and to find out if its right for your operation, contact your local DLF Seeds Sales Agronomist today.
Available through your local accredited rural retailer only.
