      Aber HSG 2 Multi-Cut

      Aber HSG 2 Multi-Cut is a specialist silage grass seed mixture designed to produce large quantities of leafy, high-quality silage from multiple cuts during the period of peak grass growth.

      If you aim to have three cuts in the clamp by mid-June, Aber HSG 2 Multi-Cut is the best option for you.

      Silage grass seed mix

      Aber HSG 2 Multi Cut’s mixture of Aber High Sugar Grass varieties provide plenty of early season growth and maintain quality and yield throughout the season.

      It is suited to a late April first cut with subsequent cuts at four to five weekly intervals, with three cuts in the clamp by late June to early July. Swards will be ideal for late-season or winter grazing if required.

      Aber HSG 2 Multi-Cut benefits

      • Ideal for early season cutting, avoiding stemmy later season growth
      • Exceptional metabolisable energy (ME) yield
      • Narrow heading date range allowing close control of silage production and quality
      • Excellent ground cover maintained for soil protection and prevention of weed ingress
      • Aber High Sugar Grass content enhances silage fermentation
      • Using a multi-cut system gives consistent leafy production

      Available with AberClaret Red Clover seed

      Traditionally, red clover only lasts two to three years in cutting leys. However, AberClaret Red Clover is the first of a generation of new long-term red clovers bred at Germinal Horizon Aberystwyth, where scientists have dramatically extended the life of red clover leys. AberClaret can persist for four to five years under cutting and is significantly more tolerant of grazing by dairy cattle.

        Heading date average for Aber HSG 2 Multi Cut is 31 May for central Britain.

        When cutting for silage, aim to cut 10 – 15 days before average heading date for optimum quality. The optimum spread of heading dates within mixtures for grazing and cutting results in better performance of the leys.
