Phalaris
Phalaris is a deep rooted perennial grass, best suited to dryland pastoral systems. Its deep taproot system allows it to be very persistent once established. Phalaris seed is best sown into highly fertile, heavy textured and deep soils. Phalaris is more tolerant to wet soils, flooding and saline soils over other pasture grass species. Sow phalaris pasture seed for livestock feed in areas where ryegrasses do not persist. Under the correct environment and management, Phalaris can become a drought resistant pasture grass.
