Arable Silage

Cereal and Legume Mixtures

ArableSilag

The high protein cereal/legume mixtures are grown for ensiling and used as an alternative to straight grass, whole crop cereal or maize. They can be fed alone or as a part of a mixed ration, usually blended with a compound feed. Silage analysis can be undertaken by your feed supplier or nutritionist to determine the best compound feed and mineral package to complement the mixture.

Due to the legume content, fertiliser requirements are lower than that of combinable cereals and due to the mixture of species, agronomy options are limited. There mixtures are competitive and any weed control should be implemented pre-emergence taking into account the range of species in the mix. 

Arable silage is spring sown as a pure stand or under sown with ryegrass. Speak to us for more information.
