Green SA It is a versatile plant used for animal feed, lawns and turf, and conservation purposes (grass waterways, rights-of-way, etc.).

Green SA is a deep-rooted, long-lived bunchgrass with short rhizomes (underground stems). It is widely adapted and grows well on the state's many and varied soil types. Green SA produces a good sod that will support livestock during wet and rainy conditions.

Total seasonal production of Green SA is affected by weather, fertilizer (especially nitrogen), and cutting or grazing management. Yields of 2 to 4 tons of dry matter/acre are common, with the higher yields associated with proper fertilizer applications and harvest management.

With adequate soil moisture, the best time to seed Green SA is late summer through early fall. Spring seedings can be successful but are more susceptible to summer drought and weed competition. To increase the chance of success with spring seeding.

For pure stands, seed 7 to 9 Kg of seed in a prepared seedbed that has been limed and fertilized according to a soil test. No-till seeding can also be successful if competition is controlled and the seed is planted on time at consistent depth and rate.
Kraal Manure is best choice in South Africa mixed 2 part soil for topping. You can even mix the seeds with it.

Many seeding methods, including no-till seeding, can be successful if they result in uniform distribution over the field, placement of seed below the soil surface 1 cm, and firming of the soil around the seed for close seed-soil contact. Good seedbed preparation and seed placement are especially important for successful establishment.

Quality

Green SA quality, as measured by forage analysis, has shown a seasonal change in sugar content and digestibility. Protein content in green, leafy Green SA leaves can be high throughout the season (Table 3). Digestibility and sugars are highest in fall, intermediate during spring, and lowest in summer.

Management of Established Pure Stands

Grazing— Management during spring is of vital importance for best quality and quantity, since Green SA produces more than two-thirds of its total dry matter during this period.

Hay— For highest yields of acceptable quality hay, make the first harvest when the plants' seed heads are in the boot to early heading stage of growth.

Balage— Early harvest, storage at 45% to 65% moisture, and wrapping soon after baling are important in making quality balage.

Fertilizers— Fertilizers, especially nitrogen, are necessary for good fescue production. Test soil periodically to monitor pH, phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) levels.

Green SA Management at a Glance

Management

Restrict cattle to small fields (through rotational grazing) in the spring until they are grazed to 3 to 4 inches.
Rotationally graze in the summer and autumn to avoid overgrazing. Strip-graze stockpiled growth in late fall and winter.
Test soil periodically and fertilize accordingly. Base nitrogen fertilization rates on management needs.
Include legumes in the pasture to improve forage quality and productivity and for nitrogen fixation.
Avoid overgrazing.
Stockpile Green SA to extend grazing season and minimize harvested feeding time.
Be knowledgeable of fescue-related disorders and manage properly.

Establishment

Select a variety based on management needs. Use high-quality seed regardless of variety.
Soil test, lime, and fertilize to recommendations. Apply nitrogen before seeding for pure stands.
Seed in late summer or early fall. Use 20 Kg of seed per HA and place seed 1 cm deep.
Avoid excessive grazing of newly established Green SA pastures.
Control weeds and other pests as needed.

Description

Green SA is a deep-rooted, tufted, cool-season grass attaining heights varying from 1 1/2 to 6 feet tall. Although it is considered a bunchgrass, the short, underground stems will develop even sod with mowing and heavy grazing. The roots are tough and coarse, normally penetrating to a depth of at least 5 feet.

Adaptation

This grass is adapted to a wide range of climatic and soil conditions. Although best adapted to a cool climate and wet, heavy soils, it will thrive on most other sites, except on light, sandy soils. It will tolerate poorly-drained conditions.

Use for Hay

With proper fertilization, this grass will produce good hay, especially when grown in a grass-legume mixture. For best quality, the hay should be harvested at the first sign of heading.

Use for Pasture Direction: On Google Map you can search for ICM Industries and drive here.

Green SA is best suited for irrigated and subirrigated pasture, responding well to fertilization and irrigation. It is palatable to livestock when leaves are young and succulent, but becomes coarse and unpalatable upon maturing.
