CRUSADER long term grass seed mixture

High sugar grazing with early bite

A long-term grass mixture with good early spring growth from AberDart and Tyrella, making it ideal for turning ewes and lambs out onto.

The high diploid content in the Crusader grass mix aids to creates a very dense base to the sward.

This grazing mix benefits from the inclusion of AberAvon, the highest yielding grazing grass available within its group on the HVG list.

Crusader is a very persistent sward with nearly 70% of the mixture made up of late perennial ryegrass that will last for around 6 years.

Aber grass varieties give Crusader a particularly high sugar content leading to greater grass palatability and efficient conversion of grass to milk or meat.

The clover blend of a medium-large leaf and a small leaf type enables tight grazing with both sheep and cattle on this grass mix.

After around 6 years it is time to consider reseeding as this is the time that quality grass varieties become less productive so weed varities start to creep in to fill the gaps in the sward, making the ley less productive than during its first 5 years of growth. Reseeding with a long term mixture such as Crusader is a perfect option for improving grazing quality on your land.
