Diamond Red Clover Silage
- Intensive silage mixture, designed for 3-4 years
- Moira and Fintona are among the highest performing ryegrass varieties under silage Index on the 2022 Pasture Profit Index
- Huge potential to reduce chemical N in the produced of winter fodder
- Will continue as a normal grass sward with white clover afterwards
- White clover will fill spaces created by red clover dying out
- Produces high protein and high digestibility silage
- Can be grazed, but important not to over graze red clover
- Stock and machinery damage to sward can shorten lifespan of red clover – target field operations in dry spell
- Conservation of dry crop is more critical with a high clover sward – target lighter crops that are easier to wilt
- Clover will only provide Nitrogen to the sward. Other mineral requirements, especially P and K will need to be applied to match herbage off take
- Clover is heavier and more free flowing seed than grass seed, so it is important to calibrate seed drills before sowing

Maintenance
- Do not apply any herbicides or fertilise
- Control any noxious weeds by pulling out or using spot treatment
- Cut down to 40-70 mm and remove clippings in late August/early September
- Oversow at half rate each spring to maintain flowering intensity
Measures to enhance pollinators on your farm
- Avoid ‘over-neatness’ to benefit bees and other wildlife
- Allow native hedgerows such as whitethorn to flower each year
- Avoid cutting hedgerows annually to allow flowering and fruiting
- Leave at least one mature whitethorn/blackthorn tree within each hedgerow
- Consider maintaining nesting habitats for bumblebees and solitary bees, keeping them free from pesticides
- Wild bees need an uninterrupted source of wildflowers for food. Additional flowers are particularly important in summer after hedgerows have finished flowering

Difficult Soils
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 10-15mm. 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 (<1200 kg DM/ha) to assist in tillering and help create a dense sward.
Uses: Dairy – Y; cattle – Y; sheep – Y; silage – Y

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.
