HERBAGE MIX No 1 Early Bite & Cut One to two-year cutting ley
Sown in the autumn, this mixture combines the attributes of tetraploid and diploid Italian ryegrasses. The diploid maintains the high dry matter, while the tetraploid provides the soluble carbohydrate content. Giving one massive first cut of high quality silage, it can then be ploughed in and followed by maize or linseed. Left in place, it can be grazed through to the autumn or give a second or third cut of silage if no other grass leys are available and it will also provide two/three cuts in the second year. It has also been successfully established after maize and produced the same excellent yields. Good early spring growth Good mid-season digestibility High percentage soluble carbohydrate Close heading dates at 67D to maximise quality and quantity Good ground cover 3.0kg ALAMO / LIGRANDE Dip.

HERBAGE MIXTURE No 3 Prime Cut & Graze
A three to four-year productive cutting ley with good autumn grazing This mixture suits situations where early silage cuts are not possible, perhaps on wetter, low lying ground or to follow earlier Italian ryegrass leys. The ideal cutting date of 67D is not reached until mid/end of May. This mixture can provide a second cut of high quality silage, if required, before being returned to the summer grazing ground. Excellent conservation and grazing yields Good disease resistance and persistency Close heading dates at 67D to enable good quality and quantity of silage and prolonged grazing Highly digestible 2.0kg ABERDART / ABERMAGIC Int. dip. perennial ryegrass 3.0kg ASTON ENERGY Int. tet. perennial ryegrass 2.0kg PREMIUM / RODRIGO Int. dip. perennial ryegrass 3.0kg ORION Int. tet. perennial ryegrass 2.0kg ELITAL Late tet. perennial ryegrass 2.0kg INNOVAL / FOXTROT Late dip. perennial ryegrass Suggested sowing rate 14kg per acre Item: 12245

HERBAGE MIX No 5 Prestige Grazing Ley
Four to five-year intensive grass ley without clover Provides a highly digestible ley for intensive stocking situations such as dairy surrounds or beef cattle grazing. Clover is left out of this mixture for a variety of reasons; where high nitrogen fertilizing is practiced and if weeds become a problem the ley management require herbicide weed control. Excellent persistency and winter hardiness Good early spring growth Good conservation and grazing yields Long heading date spread to give prolonged grazing Suits all soil types 3.2kg ORION Int. tet. perennial ryegrass 2.6kg ELITAL Late tet. perennial ryegrass 2.2kg ABERDART / ABERMAGIC Int. dip. perennial ryegrass 2.0kg PREMIUM / RODRIGO Int. dip. perennial ryegrass 2.5kg CANCAN Late dip. perennial ryegrass 1.5kg FOXTROT / TODDINGTON Late dip. perennial ryegrass Suggested sowing rate 14kg per acre Item: 30952 Four to five-year intensive grass ley with clover Similar to Herbage Number 5 but with the addition of a range of high quality white clover, making it suitable for both cattle and sheep grazing, providing high nutritive value. It is also a useful source of nitrogen for grass growth. Suits more favourable sites, which allows clover to flourish.

HERBAGE MIX No 7 Evergreen Pasture
Permanent ley A true permanent pasture mixture giving good spring growth and grazing well into the autumn. Amongst the blend of clovers, a small leaved white clover has been added to maintain a bottom to the sward when intensively grazed by sheep. TIMOTHY helps to maintain the yields during the mid-season period when the ryegrass will be yielding less. The clovers are designed to suit long-term grazing leys and comprise of small to medium leaved clover which will also flourish in dry summers. Good persistency and disease resistance Good grazing yields Very flexible usage for conservation, cattle and sheep grazing 3.5kg ELITAL Late tet. perennial ryegrass 3.5kg CANCAN Late dip. perennial ryegrass 1.5kg FOXTROT Late dip. perennial ryegrass 3.5kg INNOVAL Late dip. perennial ryegrass 1.0kg ERECTA Timothy 0.5kg RIVENDEL Small leaved white clover 0.5kg MERWI Medium leaved white clover Permanent pasture mixture for thin soils A permanent grazing mixture recommended for the South Downs and other marginal areas.

HERBAGE MIX No 9 Protein Cut
Two/three year cutting and grazing ley with red clover for cattle only This mix is not suitable for sheep grazing. The mix of red clover and hybrid ryegrass improves quality and persistence without loss of yield. Can be ensiled as a ryegrass sward with up to 3 cuts per season, followed by some grazing. Will do well on most well drained soils and is reasonably winter hardy. First cut will take 50% of the red clover yield High protein quality silage with long duration for grazing Drought tolerant – suits light soils (not suitable for poorly drained areas) Rotational advantage – excellent entry for wheat crop
