Aber HSG Multi-Species Cutting
Aber HSG Multi-Species is a specialist grass seed mixture for lower input systems where improving soil health is a priority.
This mixture provides a long-term multi-species sward that is ideal for rotational and set-stocked grazing.
Aber HSG Multi-Species Cutting contains vetch and annual white clover to boost dry matter production in the first year. It also contains a mixture of high sugar grasses, legumes and herbs. The mixture of plants within herbal leys drives dry matter production.
Multi-species grass seed
Areas of poor soil health also benefit from the plants’ different abilities to fix and lift nitrogen, with their water
uptake increasing performance in dry conditions. This mixture also produces a dense multi-species sward that resists poaching.
