FORTRESS short term grass seed mixture

3-4 year heavy grass production with early grass growth

Fortress is a grass seed mixture with good early spring growth suitable for an early cut or graze.

This is a very quick growing grass ley ideally suited to cutting with some light grazing, so if grazing is your priority have a look at the grass mixture Shield.

Choose a field that is well drained and suitable for early grass utilisation.

The high tetraploid content of this grass mixture increases water-soluble carbohydrate (sugar) levels which aid silage fermentation and aftermath grazing.

The grass seed variety AberEcho is used as it is the highest yielding hybrid ryegrass variety on the Recommended Lists and is of excellent grass quality. Its WSC (sugar) levels are significantly greater even than AberDart.

Dunluce intermediate tetraploid ryegrass is the highest yielding perennial ryegrass for cutting on the whole HVG list, with superb silaging qualities.

With these varieties included you can be sure to produce a high quality short/medium term silaging sward with potential for some grazing if required.
