Profile
With the special composition of intermediate and late perennial ryegrass and white clover, COUNTRY Grassland 2460 is an excellent provider of palatable and high energy forage. The perennial ryegrass leads to high sugar contents and thus to improved ensilability and higher feed intake. Moreover the mixture has a high use elasticity. With regular overseeding, forage quality of pastures is maintained or even improved.
-
High yielding, palatable forage
-
Flexible in use
-
Suitable for overseeding and undersowing

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.
