Quality mixtures for grassland

The most important asset for a grassland and livestock farmer is their meadows, pastures, and forage crops. The plant communities of these grassland crops should be predominantly grass-based, have a stable sward, and be harmoniously composed of legumes and compatible herbs.

Performance and resilience depend significantly on the characteristics of the varieties introduced through overseeding, reseeding, or new establishment. Only those who use seed mixtures optimally adapted to the specific climate and site conditions, as well as the intended use, will achieve success. The composition of seed mixtures for forage production and the overseeding, reseeding, or new establishment of permanent grassland has also evolved and, in some cases, changed considerably over the years, reflecting updated recommendations for the proper management of such stands. The art of composing grassland mixtures essentially lies in selecting the most suitable species and combining them in appropriate proportions.

Grassland farms need high-quality forage for economical production.
