Management Information
How & When to Plant
Stockaide can be planted utilizing the following methods:
- No-tilled into an existing pasture after vegetation is removed
- Fall dormant seeding or early spring planting
- Late summer/early fall planting is an option where fall moisture is available
- Stockaide can also be planted into a firmly prepared seed bed or no-till
Grazing Management
Allow Stockaide to establish to at least 10-12 inches tall. Once it has reached this height, introduce a light, initial grazing, leaving 4-5 inches of stubble. Leaving this stubble will encourage tillering. Once Stockaide has recovered, grazing can continue. This mixture is ideal for all types of grazing and is well suited for stockpiling as well.
Barricaide
