Spring sowing of phalaris tuberosa in Victoria
Phalaris tuberosa may be sown in autumn or spring in Victoria per S C Powell Agrostological Research Officer. Spring sowing is risky in areas with unreliable late spring or summer rains. Seedlings are delicate and early spring sowing helps roots establish. Phalaris provides stock feed but is less palatable than ryegrass and overabundance can upset diet. Sow on well-worked fallow with a little subterranean clover. Early growth is competitive but perennials can follow.
