Presentation
AN ASSOCIATION OF ANNUAL LEGUMES INCLUDING VICIA VILLOSA

• MIX OF ANNUAL LEGUMES
  Different types of clovers to increase protein production
• ASSOCIATION WITH RYEGRASSES
  To increase yield and improve silage conservation
• SECURE PROTEIN PRODUCTION
  Vicia villosa helps secure protein content at harvest

Sowing & Cultivation
Sowing period: Early September / Early October
Sowing rate: 15 - 20 kg/ha
Sowing depth: 1 - 2 cm
Duration: Annual

Agronomic advice
Do not ensile in pure stand. For early sowings (Aug/Sept) a 50% MAS4 NUTRI VV / 50% diploid ryegrass balance is recommended. For later sowings increase MAS4 NUTRI VV to about 60%. Carefully manage nitrogen fertilisation (especially when mixed with ryegrasses). Beware of sulfonylurea residues. Conventional fertilisation can cause rapid ryegrass growth that may outcompete clovers.
