GFS WETLAND MEADOW

Species and varieties selected for wet soils, for example traditional flood plains and water meadows

Once established a productive meadow will evolve which will cope with occasional silt covering

This mixture is specifically developed to provide quality forage when sown in heavy land prone to waterlogging

Meadow fescue increases sward density

This mixture only contains long term, late heading and hardy grass species

Deep rooted species improve soil structure, increase field drainage and improve the mineral content of the forage

Late heading diploid perennial ryegrasses are the most suited perennial ryegrass for wetter conditions

Persistently flooded areas spring sowing is recommended to ensure establishment before winter flooding

Meadow Fescue and Timothy are the only other two species that will thrive in wetter conditions whilst still producing high yields and persistent sward.

Alsike clover is suited to a wide range of conditions and is tolerant of moderate flooding

Flexible mixture offering all seasons grazing and if shut up a hay or a later silage cut
