Full Repair or CropPower harrow, seed, roll & harrow
Notes: • The above is a guide only. The best option will be depend on timing, soil type, soil conditions, area that needs repair and feed
requirements. • Categorise pugging damage and, if possible, only repair sections of paddocks such as fronts of paddocks, low lying areas, use electric fence • It is recommended that Perennial ryegrass or Italian ryegrass be used for any spring sowings. These need to be sown no later than end
September to allow germination and reasonable root growth before the soil starts to dry out. Do not sow ARG – It will go too head too early.
• For severe or very severely pugged areas a summer crop may be a good option before re-sowing to pasture next autumn. Developed by Frank Mickan DPI Ellinbank 5624 2259 and David Shambrook, DPI Leongatha 5662 9913
