• Prostrate grass spread by runners
• Best suited to light to medium fertile soils
• Summer soil moisture is essential
• Tolerates heavy soils and waterlogging
• Produces stabilising ground cover
• Grows from spring to first frost in winter
• Moderate frost tolerance

• Winter active perennial grass suitable for saline and waterlogged land
• Highly profitable forage plant and seed crop
• Establishment is slow, seed needs to be allowed to get properly established before grazing - generally no grazing in first year and only light grazing in second year
• Control of competitive weeds, eg barley grass is important particularly in first year of establishment
• Subject to availability

• Tussock forming perennial grass
• Suitable for moderately saline and poorly drained sites
• Doesn't tolerate frequent inundation
• Summer moist duplex or heavy soils suit best
• Grows in warmer months & sets seed from January to March
• Moderately drought tolerant
• Sow in early spring or autumn
• Seedlings are slow to emerge so early control of weeds and pests is essential
• Graze lightly in first year, then rotationally once established
• Increase productivity with Nitrogen fertiliser
