Anaerobic Digestion – Grass Seed Mixtures

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 essential approx. 5-6 weeks after establishment, prior to first grazing. Where clover is included in the sown mixture, use a clover-safe spray.

Grazing: Graze the new reseeds frequently and at low covers (<1,200 kg DM/ha) to assist in tillering and help create a dense sward.

Uses: Dairy – Y; cattle – Y; sheep – Y; silage – Y

Description

Grass provides a cost-effective, environmentally sustainable feedstock for anaerobic digesters.

Compared to crops requiring annual cultivations, grass leys allow more opportunity to spread the liquid or solid waste product from digesters without the need to plough back in.

Anaerobic digestion grass

The Germinal grass seed mixtures for anaerobic digestion offer a distinct advantage over other grassland varieties with their high water-soluble carbohydrate (sugar) content generating a higher yield and rate of biogas production whether ensiled or a fresh crop.

Leisure Lawn

Usage guide: Leisure Lawn Sowing rate: 25-30 g/m2 (100-120 kg/acre) Sowing time: April to late August Sowing depth: 10 mm Sowing instructions: Eliminate weeds well before preparing the seedbed, hand weed or use a suitable weed killer (seek advice from your local store). Create a good seedbed by digging the soil over to a depth of 15 cm and leave to settle, ideally for a few weeks. Remove weeds and excess stones. Rake over the whole area to create a flat, fine and friable seedbed. Firm the seedbed by rolling or treading the site evenly. Carry out two equal sowings at right angles to each other and diagonally to the main axis. Broadcast manually or use seed drill, rake level and roll. Ensure good seed to soil contact. Apply a suitable fertiliser to ensure adequate nutrients are available for the seed. After sowing:     
  • Control weeds if necessary
  • Take the first cut when the grass is 6-8 cm and mow down to about 3 ½ cm (or the highest setting your mower will cut to) this will help the lawn to thicken out
  • Over the next few weeks gradually reduce the cutting height down to 2 ½ cm.
Uses:@ Sowing a new lawn; restoring a lawn
