Quicker to establish compared to other varieties, Bond is medium to late maturing with a flowering date 7–10 days and a semi-erect growth habit. Sow Bond forage oats for strong initial growth, high total season dry matter and a high level resistance to current races of crown rust (Puccinia coronata). Prolific tillering gives Bond the ability to recover well after cutting or grazing.
Pasture seed sowing rate (sole): 80-120kg/ha
