Join Al & Juddy as they delve into the lesser-explored realm of alternative grass species in the New Zealand landscape.
Building on their extensive coverage of popular grass varieties, this episode was inspired by a listener’s request to explore the less conventional choices that may not be widely adopted in New Zealand.
From an agronomic perspective, Al & Juddy dissect these alternative grasses, examining their relevance and application in various animal systems.
“We kind of love them together as what we refer to as the alternative options. Their different characteristics mean that they have quite different ranges in terms of where you would sow them. Moreover, they play varied roles within animal systems, showcasing their versatility” – Glenn Judson
