Mixture 1
SHORT TERM FERTILITY BUILDER
For farmers converting to organic or seeking a fertility building mixture which can also provide high protein hay or silage. Contains Red Clover, Italian Ryegrass and tetraplpoid hybrid ryegrass.
Mixture 2
GRAZING MIXTURE
This grazing mixture differs from conventional mixtures in that it has a high white clover content and a more open sward which enables the clover to thrive. The mixture also contains mid and late season perennials - including some very palatable tetraploids.
Mixture 3
CUTTING MIXTURE
Intensive silage regimes tend to put high pressure on the longevity and performance of a mixture and thus the fertiliser requirement is particulary high. Our organic cutting mixture contains a high proportion of a clover blend to ensure optimum fixation of atmospheric nitrogen so the ley does not prematurely "run out of steam". The optimum blend of several mid and late season perennials includes a number of high performance tetraploids.
Mixture 4
DUAL PURPOSE MIXTURE
Similar to Progress, but with a higher content of white clover. Very good early bite and the ability to adapt to different management conditions and diverse livestock enterprises.
Mixture 5
LONG TERM, LOW INPUT MIXTURE
A traditional mixture that harks back to the days when all livestock farms were organic. It includes Meadow Fescue and Timothy, both of which have the potential to out yield perennial ryegrass in lower fertility conditions. The inclusion of a high proportion of white clover seed enables the ley to rapidly achieve maximum clover levels for optimum fixation of atmospheric nitrogen. |
