Sowing rate: 1 ha pack – 19 kg
Sowing time: Sow from mid-July up until 15 September if sowing for ACRES
Sowing depth: 10-15 mm
Sowing instructions: Cultivate to achieve a fine, firm seedbed. Ploughing is not permitted if sowing within the ACRES scheme. Sow in good conditions (warm with rain forecast). Roll after sowing to ensure good soil/seed contact.
