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
