mature and over-mature


Explanation:
The pasture becomes mature once the individual plants are ripe. Past this point, it is described as "over-mature". (See the technical articles in the links.)

Example sentence(s):
  • "...which in turn allows the upcoming pastures in the rotation to grow <b>over-mature</b> and become rank, which lowers nutritional value,..."
  • Caution: Beware of Poisoning Potential from Ergot Fungus Mycotoxins in Mature Grass Hay and Pasture
