Sowing rate: 16 kg/acre (40 kg/ha) Sowing time: April-September (first week) Sowing depth: 10 -15 mm Sowing instructions: Cultivate to achieve a fine, firm seed bed. Ploughing will help level rough fields. Sow in good conditions (warm with rain forecast), no deeper than 10-15 mm. Roll well after sowing to ensure good soil/seed contact. Apply N, P & K as per soil test results and nitrates rules. After sowing: Monitor for pest attack and take immediate action where necessary. Post-emergence weed spray is essential approx. 5-6 weeks after establishment, prior to firsy grazing/cut. Where clover is included in the sown mixture, use a clover safe spray. Ideally, in the first year graze the new reseeds frequently and at low covers for the first few grazings to aid tillering and help increase the sward density. Subsequently, take three to four high-quality silage cuts from early May. Graze in the backend to ensure a clean sward is carried into the winter. Uses: Dairy – Y; cattle – Y; sheep – Y; silage – Y; zero-grazing – Y

Usage guide: Horse Mixture Sowing rate: 14 kg/acre (35 kg/ha) Sowing Time: April-September (first week) Sowing depth: 10-15 mm Sowing instructions: Cultivate to achieve a fine, firm seedbed. Ploughing will help level rough fields. Sow in good conditions (warm with rain forecast), no deeper than 10-15 mm. Roll well after sowing to ensure good soil/ seed contact. Apply N, P & K as per soil test results and nitrates rules. After sowing: Monitor for pest attack and take immediate action where necessary. Post-emergence weed spray is advised approx. 5-6 weeks after establishment, prior to first grazing provided herbs are not sown in the mixture. If the mixture containing herbs is sown, weed control should take place before reseeding. If possible, use sheep or cattle to graze sward initially as this will help tiller out the sward and create a denser sward. Suitable for a hay crop if desired.
