PERMANENT PASTURE D1

Suitable for silage, hay and grazing. Excellent fodder yields due to dense sward with high clover levels. D1 has a lower content of perennal ryegrass than other mixes so is more resistant to dry conditions.

Ideal for low N-input regimes. Pastures with a diverse mixture of species provide numerous benefits. Clovers and other legumes produce nitrogen and high protein feed. The inclusion of deep rooting grasses provide resilience to drought and improve soil stucture. A balanced mixture with a good variety of grasses, clovers and herbs will fill the ecological niches of the pasture. This makes them higher yielding than monocultures and better at keeping weeds out.

Clovers 17.5%

  • White Clover 8%
  • Red Clover diploid 4.5%
