Permanent Grass Without Clover

Ref: mix6nc

This is a variation on our Mix 6 Permanent Grass mixture which we have supplied to hundreds of farmers for many years. This version uses predominantly late heading Perennial Ryegrass and a robust Timothy inclusion for later season growth and to add further longevity to the ley.The exclusion of clover allows a flexible approach to herbicides if this is a site prone to perennial weed issues.The late heading nature of this mixture created a harwearing and dense sward, this makes it very suitabale to livestock grazing, although a silage, hay or haylage cut can be taken if required.

Herbs Mix (0.5 Kg) £8.75/Acre
More InfoThis mixture has been designed to be added to long term pasture mixtures to provide minerals and trace elements. It may also be sown as a herbal strip along a hedgerow.
Cocksfoot for light land (2 Kg) £12.70/Acre
More InfoThis well-known perennial grows early in the spring and has a comprehensive root structure travelling to depth and therefore thrives on light, free-draining soil. It is equally at home on soils prone to flooding. Cocksfoot harbours insects and is a good choice for this reason. Due to its dominance in the sward, it is best to restrict its usage in mixes. It is palatable when grazed frequently.
Westerwolds 1yr Cover Crop (3 Kg) £9.21/Acre
More InfoThis annual form of ryegrass is very fast to establish. It is the only grass to produce a stem and seed head from a spring sowing making it good for the production of hay for horses. A very good N Lifter, it is very quick to make a large root mass making it suitable as a green manure. It is a cheaper alternative to cereal rye making it very popular. Used on its own or as a companion to N-fixing vetch.
Forage rape (0.25 Kg) £1.19/Acre
More InfoForage rape is a quick growing, protein-rich green forage, with similar yields to stubble turnips. It is sown from April to August to provide forage 12 weeks later. In most years it can be relied upon to produce forage until Christmas. It makes an excellent feed for lambs and tolerates poor soils so can be used as a pioneer crop in upland situations.
Italian Ryegrass Cover Crop (3 Kg) £11.25/Acre
More InfoThis is a short lived grass lasting for two years. It is very high yielding and reliably provides up to 18t DM per hectare on soils that suit it. (All ryegrasses yield less on light soils, especially in low rainfall areas.) It has a very open growth habit with fewer tillers than other grasses. It is therefore better suited to cutting than grazing.
