Grass
Grasses are the backbone of most pastures and provide the majority of their cool season production. There are many species that vary in persistence from the short-lived annual ryegrass to the persistence cocksfoot. Grass species also vary in their establishment speed, seasonal growth, feed value, soil nutrient and grazing requirements.

Legumes & Herbs
Legumes and herbs are widely used in pastures. Legumes are often mixed with grasses as they typically have much better feed quality through late spring and summer, so provide higher animal performance, as well as fixing nitrogen from the air. Herbs have a variety of uses from specialist crops to being incorporated in a pasture mix.

Crops
Crops provide a high amount of home grown feed for stock when pasture growth is poor. Summer crops such as chicory, rape and turnips are used in in areas with hot, dry summers particularly through the North Island and the East Coast. Winter crops such as kale, fodder beet and rape are grown in areas with colder winters, particularly at high altitudes or through the South Island.

Grow & Utilise
Grazing pastures and crops well, and achieving high animal performance are the cornerstones to farm profitability and sustainability. And this is an art, as it requires continual adjustment to weather and farm requirements. This section covers information on grazing management.
View Category -
Sow
A great pasture or crop starts with sowing. This is a complex process, which needs good planning and implementation, much of which is covered in this section. The aim is having a new pasture or crop full of the desired species and relatively free of weeds.

Animal Nutrition
Animal production relies on pasture or crop with high feed value and palatability to support livestock growth and productivity. This section has nutritional information including feed value, growing lambs, and transitioning stock onto crop.

Endophytes
Endophytes are a natural fungus found in some grasses which helps them persist through providing insect control. We have the biggest range of endophytes you can buy. Why? To help New Zealand farmers get the right result, every time. That’s because the best pasture comes from the happiest marriage between a ryegrass, and its endophyte.

Seed Treatments
Seed treatment technology allows a targeted coating of insecticide, fungicide and in some cases nutrients to be applied to seeds before sowing. They help protect and accelerate seedling development, so reducing the risk of losing new pasture or crop at establishment. Barenbrug markets three AGRICOTE seed treatments for grass, clover, and brassicas.

Care
Pests and diseases can affect pastures and crops. This section describes these, and will help you identify which pest of disease might be causing any damage.
