Topdressing of Pastures in Victoria Promotes Perennial Growth
The senior agrostologist of the Victorian Department of Agriculture advises topdressing now to boost winter feed and perennial species. He notes that pastures with clover respond best to superphosphate, but dry conditions favor perennials like rye grass Phalaris cocksfoot and paspalum for resilience in meagre rains. Improved pastures with perennials are likelier to respond when rains arrive, while over early application on cracked clay can waste fertiliser.
