Profile
In this mixture we use special varieties of perennial ryegrass that have been tested on peat soils. These varieties convince by their extraordinary persistence and winter hardiness. Adding Timothy makes COUNTRY Grassland 2462 a suitable partner for moist and hilly areas, and in combination with white clover a swift sward density is provided. The white clover also makes it more palatable and it fixes nitrogen. With regular overseeding, the forage quality of pastures is maintained or even improved.

All organic mixtures are produced with 100 % organic content, if possible, in accordance with the EU Organic Farming Regulation 2018/848. For mixtures with at least 70% organic content, the farmer must obtain approval from his inspection body for the use of the conventional content before sowing, starting with production in January 2022. We aim to use at least 2 varieties per ripening group for mix proportions of more than 20 % of one species and for German ryegrass. The choice of varieties may vary depending on production. If individual species or varieties are not available, they are replaced by equivalent ones. The seed strengths are calculated for an optimal seedbed; in case of poor external conditions - such as insufficient seedbed, late sowing date, insufficient nutrient supply and unfavourable weather - the seed strengths should be adjusted upwards.
