Because grass plants are never more vulnerable than at the early establishment phase we treat most of our mixtures with no less than two quality products - HEADSTART® and Integral®. HEADSTART®, which is a combination of seaweed enzymes, natural bio-nutrients and trace elements combined with an osmotic attracter, has delivered up to 20% improvement in that all-important establishment. After several years of extensive trials we introduced Integral® last season. This product is based on a naturally occurring strain of Bacillus subtilis which quickly colonises the developing root systems and provides major benefits in terms of a dramatically improved plant stand and early vigour. This, in turn, can add significant increases in the yield from your new grass/clover ley. |
