Nutrient Efficient

Climate Smart CAPTURE

The Climate Smart Capture range has been developed to offer a powerful combination of nitrogen fixing clovers and high-energy Aber High Sugar Grasses (Aber HSG).

These forage mixtures are a sustainable choice if considering the environmental impact of inorganic fertiliser, need to improve soil fertility or boost wildlife. Red clover options provide improved quality of silage.

CS CAPTURE Long Term Multi-Cut

This all-perennial ryegrass mixture grows in synchronisation with the long-lasting AberClaret red clover. This will produce higher protein in regular cuts at 4-5 weeks from late April onwards. Large-leaf white clover is also included for added persistence if the ley is to remain after 5 years.

CS CAPTURE Long Term Grazing

Containing a higher proportion of Aber HSG diploid varieties, this mixture produces a dense sward suitable for all grazing stock with outstanding grazing yield and grazing D-value. Clover is proven to drive animal intakes. The inclusion of higher levels of white clover and some red clover helps boost the protein content and increase natural nitrogen fixation in the sward, lowering environmental impact.
