What is SWEETGRASS?

SWEETGRASS is a high Nitrogen fertiliser with added sweetening agents. Its special formulation increases the palatability of your grass, thus increasing dry matter intakes.

Why use SWEETGRASS?
For Sweeter Grass
	When applied to grass Sodium has been shown to improve its palatability
For Increased Dry Matter Intake
	Increased palatability will lead to improved dry matter intake
For Cleaner Paddocks
	The sweeter the grass the tighter the grazing
For Top Dressing Beet
	Top dressing beet with the combination of Nitrogen, Sulphur, Sodium and Magnesium gives an excellent yield response.

For early grass, apply 2 bags to the acre 6 - 8 weeks before turnout. Generally, apply 1½ bags to the acre after each grazing as required but keeping within the parameters of the nitrates directive.

Silage/Hay

Suitable for hay, and both first and second cut silage. Apply 3-5 bags as required but keeping within the parameters of the nitrates directive.

Tillage
