Grass & Clover | Field Options

More Information

The Objective: Optimum performance in each field situation.

What are the best ingredients to include in a blend of grasses and clovers? If the best is available we will use it. In the case of our key products, these mixtures and our methods of formulation are tested in unique mixture trials at Harper Adams University. Mixture performance is tested against top industry controls. The result, one of the UK’s most comprehensive ranges of grass and clover, backed up by proof of performance. There are organic versions of most of our key mixtures, this is highlighted in the information panel for each particular mixture.
