Description

Fodder Crop

Swedes like oats prefer a cool, moist climate and have good winter hardiness. When grown under dry conditions, yields can be low. In areas with little sunshine, Swedes do better than fodder beet. The crop can be grazed in situ, especially suitable for sheep. It can be harvested, stored and fed whole or chopped. Some varieties are grown for human consumption.

Dry Matter yield: 6 – 9 t/ha

Fresh yield:  60 – 90 t/ha

Dry Matter: 8 – 10 %

Crude Protein: 10 – 11 %

Tetraploid 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 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

Farm Pollinator Mix

Sowing rate 4 kg pack (0.4 acre)
Sowing time Late March to late July (avoid very dry sowing periods
Sowing depth No more than 10 mm
Sowing instructions
  1. Sow on low fertile soil
  2. Remove existing plants and create a fine seedbed 100-150 mm deep
  3. Scatter seed at a rate of 1-2 g/m2
  4. Rake over so seed is lightly covered by soil
  5. Roll for good seed-to-soil contact

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

Farm Pollinator Mix ingredients

  • Red clover
  • White clover
  • Vetch
  • Phacelia
