Product Information
Pasja Turnip plants are a early-maturing (50-70 days) hybrid forage Turnip or Brassica. Pasja Turnip seed has been bred for rapid growth and high performance, with a high leaf-to-bulb ratio. Pasja Turnip seed can be used over a much longer period of time than the traditional rape cultivars. It has excellent regrowth ability and will provide good leafy summer feed for livestock as well.
Pasja can be used to supplement or extend the grazing season, when cool season pastures tend to slow down. It adds high quality forage to the Summer diet, and can be sown along with BMR-Sorghum-Sudangrass. It will regrow along with the Sudangrass and provide multiple grazings. If sown with cereal grains or annual Ryegrass in the Spring or late Summer, Pasja will provide excellent tonnage and high quality forage for multiple grazings. Pasja works well flown into standing Corn with Rye, Oats and annual Ryegrass in late Summer. Pasja can also be used as a break crop in order to convert older pastures to different species and newer varieties. An annual crop gives a bigger window to eliminate old, undesirable forage through the use of herbicides, tillage and competition of the Brassica crop itself.
*Product packaging may appear different than what is pictured.
Pasja should be seeded at 3 to 6 lbs. per acre when direct drilled. Use a higher rate when broadcasting.
Allow at least six weeks before grazing Pasja, and then expect to re-graze at approximately monthly intervals - Overgrazing can damage the crown and should be avoided. Pasja Turnips should be grazed before it flowers.
Instructions
When choosing to start a new lawn, remove old vegetation by using a de-thatcher, power rake or tiller to kill the existing vegetation. Rake or drag the area to remove debris and dead grass for a clean area. Ensure the soil is leveled and loosened to allow the seed to have good soil contact once spread on a clean seed bed.
If you have an area with heavy weed coverage, we recommend starting fresh by killing and removing the existing vegetation. If you choose to use chemicals, herbicides or fertilizers, you must check with the product's manufacturer prior to planting new seed to ensure the proper waiting period.
When overseeding an existing area, mow your lawn at the lowest setting and bag the clippingsx. Rake or drag any areas that have dead thatch or debris.
