      LandStrong Multi-Species Swards from Germinal

      Enrich soil with climate smart forage

      Soil is a non-renewable resource – it is fundamental to delivering productive farming

      Healthy soil acts like a carbon reservoir and is a habitat for microorganisms. Depleted, compacted and eroded soil is a challenge for farmers and the future of food production.

      LandStrong

      Germinal’s LandStrong is a range of environmentally friendly and climate smart mixtures that are helping farmers adapt to climate change and better manage their resources.

      LandStrong supports sustainable farming

      Benefits include:

      • Strengthening soil fertility and structure
      • Boosting biodiversity in grassland swards
      • Reducing environmental impact through a reduction in nitrogen fertiliser inputs

      LandStrong options include a variety of multi-species and government-approved scheme mixtures.

      The benefits of multi-species swards

      Highly productive, climate smart forage

      Multi-species swards combine grasses, herbs and legumes. Combined, this diverse forage can deliver impressive daily liveweight gain.

      Environmental & economic benefits

      • Plantain and chicory can help avoid losses of nitrogen via leaching
      • Deeper root depths mean higher rates of carbon sequestration
      • Attraction of pollinators who feed on the flowering plants in multi-species swards

      Animal performance & multi-species

      Multi-species can be beneficial for dairy, beef, and sheep producers.

      When reseeding it is a good time to consider the added value multi-species can bring as diversification of species in the sward improves uptake.
