Aber HSG Multi-Species Grazing
Aber HSG Multi-Species is a specialist mixture for lower input systems where improving soil health is a priority.
This multi-species grass seed mix provides a long-term sward ideal for rotational and set-stocked grazing.
Aber HSG Multi-Species is a mixture of high sugar grasses, legumes and herbs. The mixture of plants within the sward drives dry matter production.
Improve soil health
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.
Aber HSG Multi-Species produces a dense sward that resists poaching.
Key benefits of multi-species grass seed
- Superior sward performance through complementary plant species
- Improved soil structure and fertility
- Increased drought tolerance
- Lower ammonia excretion reducing environmental impact
- Higher nutrient levels driving improved animal performance
