Product Information

MaxQ Tall Fescue Grass Seed is a cool season perennial grass that provides excellent permanent pastures for cattle, sheep and horses.

Endophytes (fungus) are important to a tall fescue plant. The fungus aids the plant in being more tolerant to heat and drought stress, plus adds tolerance to some insects and diseases. However, the natural fungi in grass plants produce toxins that are harmful to livestock. MaxQ endophyte provides all the beneficial effects for the plant without producing harmful toxins.

With good management practices tall fescue can produce crude protein levels of 15 to 16%; TDN in the 60 to 62% range. However, environmental conditions and management practices will determine individual results. For best results and benefits all toxic Tall Fescue should be killed before trying to establish a stand of Fescue with MaxQ.

A firm seedbed is important for good stand establishment. You can drill into a prepared firm seedbed, no-till drill into sod, or broadcast and pack in seed. Place seed at a depth of 1/4 to 1/2 inches, (but never deeper than 1/2 in.). Do not graze or cut seedling stand until it reaches 6 to 8 inches tall. Use only light rotational grazing in the first year, and never graze or cut closer than 2 inches. During periods of heat and drought stress, it is best to rotate cattle more frequently.

MaxQ Tall Fescue grows very well where KY 31 is grown. It is best adapted to clay or clay loam soils. MaxQ is tolerant to soil acidity and poor drainage, but performs best on soils with good water-holding capacity and a pH of 6.0 to 6.5. It is relatively tolerant to drought.

Plant at a rate of 15-20lbs./acre in prepared seedbed, and 20-25 lbs./acre sod-seeded in stubble.
