COUNTRY FIELD FORAGE 2485 ORGANIC

PDF DATASHEET

Profile

COUNTRY Field forage 2485 is a combination of Italian ryegrass and Red clover and produces high yields with high crude protein content. The use of winterhardy varieties of Italian ryegrass make a two year use possible. The high content of Red clover fixes nitrogen and is a good partner for organic crop rotation.

  • High yielding
  • High protein content through high clover share
  • N-fixation

All organic mixtures are produced with 100 % organic content, if possible, in accordance with the EU Organic Farming Regulation 2018/848. For mixtures with at least 70% organic content, the farmer must obtain approval from his inspection body for the use of the conventional content before sowing, starting with production in January 2022. We aim to use at least 2 varieties per ripening group for mix proportions of more than 20 % of one species and for German ryegrass. The choice of varieties may vary depending on production. If individual species or varieties are not available, they are replaced by equivalent ones. The seed strengths are calculated for an optimal seedbed; in case of poor external conditions - such as insufficient seedbed, late sowing date, insufficient nutrient supply and unfavourable weather - the seed strengths should be adjusted upwards.

Deutsche Saatveredelung AG excludes adhesion for damage or claims for damages, resulting of the use for the variety specified in this description.
