Reducing Synthetic Nitrogen Use with RGT Nouga Tall Fescue and Legume Paddocks
Historically, managing grazing with Tall Fescue has been challenging, especially during late spring. However, RGT Nouga addresses this with its remarkably soft leaves and high digestibility, making grazing management simpler and more efficient.
Another significant benefit of RGT Nouga is its compatibility with legumes. It often supports a 20-30% legume content in the pasture, which enhances the natural nitrogen contribution from the environment. This reduces the need for synthetic nitrogen applications, such as urea.
Moreover, the increased legume content boosts digestibility, leading to higher milk yields. Farmers are already observing a rise in milk production compared to their ryegrass pastures, effectively generating more milk with less applied nitrogen. This creates a win-win situation for both productivity and sustainability.
