Autumn Reseeding

Our Autumn Reseeding Guide has now returned from the printers and should be dropping through your letterbox sometime this week!  This is the fourth season of our partnership between DBL & Horizon Seeds. 

Horizon Seeds only uses varieties on the RGCL recommended list (for RGCL list click here), and happily list all the varieties in their mixes so you can therefore check the individual varieties against the recommended list the key characteristics you are looking for, e.g. ME, D-Value, disease resistance, early growth, etc.

These are the reasons why you should reseed:

• Increased yields from existing leys - With constant improvements in grass breeding technology individual varieties are becoming more and more productive, with higher ME and better disease resistance
• Increased quality from the ley - ME levels and digestibility will be significantly improved
• Reduction in bought in feed - Feed supplements can be costly, good grass produced on farm is the cheapest form of feed available
• Reduction on the Weed Burden - Older leys by nature are weaker growing and often far more open. This allows competitive weed species to establish themselves within the ley requiring more inputs and reduced yield and quality
• Improved response to inputs - Denser swards, modern breeding and high vigour of new leys all combine to give a far better response to any fertiliser applied

If the ideal mix you are looking for is not listed, please let us know your requirements and Horizon are more than happy to quote for a bespoke mix to suit your individual needs.

We can offer you a full range of products including grasses, herbal leys, lucerne, environmental mixes to meet countryside stewardship requirements, wholecrop and forage crops.
