Chicory is a popular summer feed option in the Upper North Island, There are two ways to grow chicory: in a pasture mix, or as a special purpose crop. Chicory will last 1-2 years under dairy grazing.
A chicory pure stand can be established at 5-7 kg/ha. Chicory combines well with most grasses and clovers; incorporate chicory into a pasture mix at 1-2 kg/ha.
Chicory produces 8 -16t DM/ha/year of quality forage from September to May.
