ENDOPHYTES:
Endophytes 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 disease. However the fungus produces toxins in most Fescues which are harmful to livestock. MaxQ™ endophyte provides all of the beneficial effects for the plant but does NOT produce the harmful toxins.

USES:
MaxQ™ enhanced tall fescue provides excellent permanent pastures for cattle, sheep and horses.

NUTRITION:
With good management practices tall fescue can produce Crude Protein levels of 15-16%; TDN in the 60-62% range. However, environmental conditions and management practices will determine individual results.
PLANTING:
For best results and benefit all toxic tall fescue should be killed before trying to establish a stand of fescue with MaxQ™.
RATE: 20lbs/acre in prepared seedbed and 25lbs./acre sod-seeded in stubble.
DATE: Southern and Southeastern States; Sept.1 to Nov.1 Mid-South, Midwest and Northeastern States Aug. 15 to Oct. 1 or spring planting in March and April.
METHOD: A firm seedbed is important for good stand establishment. You can drill into prepared firm seed bed, no-till drill into sod or broadcast and pack in seed. Place seed at a depth of 1/4" to 1/2", but never deeper than 1/2".
MANAGEMENT: Do not graze or cut seedling stand until it reaches 6"-8" tall. Use only light rotational grazing in the first year and never graze or cut closer than 2". During periods of heat and drought stress it is best to rotate cattle more frequently. Consult MaxQ™ Users Guide for complete planting and management information.
