GrassMax
GrassMax Base has been specifically designed for new reseeds where subsequent overseeding is routinely intended.
This principle allows the use of significantly higher yielding grasses and can increase annual yields by up to 30% compared to more traditional mixtures. Routine overseeding will be required however to maintain plant numbers at the necessary levels to achieve these yield benefits.

HF GRASSMAX - CUT With Red Clover
A specialist overseeding mixture containing a high level of Red Clover designed to introduce both new grass and Red Clover into silage swards. This mix can also be used to prolong the life of existing Red Clover swards provided Eelworm is not a problem

Field Preparation:
Remove all surplus grass growth by cutting or hard grazing. Scarify the area in opposite directions using the Kockerling grass scarifying harrow.
Sowing:
Sow at the same time as scarifying with up to 10kg/hectare (10kg/acre) of the appropriate GrassMax seed mixture. Where iSeed® treatment is used, as the fertiliser effecively doubles the weight of the seed, the sowing rate is double that of untreated seed. Roll immediately to consolidate the ground and ensure good seed to soil contact.
Timing:
With untreated seed, to ensure that competition from the existing sward is minimised, the optimium overseeding window is immediately after the last silage cut of the season or after a hard graze in the Spring or Autumn
Although the benefit of minimising competition from the existing sward also applies to iSeed®, the increased competitiveness of iSeed® reduces the dependence in timing and may offer the opportunity of a much wider sowing window
Fertiliser:
When clover is included wait until at least 30 days after sowing before applying any Nitrogen fertiliser to minimise competition from the existing sward. If clover is not included this period can be reduced to 15 days
Livestock re-introduction:
After cutting wait until aftermaths have fully recovered. After grazing keep stock on for 10 days then remove and allow sward to recover.
