This is a reduced maintenance mix that is naturally low
growing and attractive, using fine grasses that are very
tolerant of dry, infertile conditions reducing the need
for additional applications of water and fertiliser. The
addition of Crested Dogstail to the mix ensures a quick
germination and green up of the sward.

Forage Grass Mixtures
Our range of forage grass seed mixtures
is designed to provide the grower with
high quality forage by utilising today’s
modern and extensively trialled
varieties. The mixtures following offer
short and long term options for both
cutting and grazing systems and whilst
we feel that these formulations cover
most seeding requirements, we do
offer a bespoke special mixture service
and would be pleased to advise on
your requirements.
HAYMAX SHORT TERM
HAYMAX FULL TERM
HORSEMAX PADDOCK
A blend of italian and hybrid ryegrass to produce quality
hay or haylage. The mixture is of two years duration and is
based only on diploid species.
A mixture of 5 years duration provides excellent yields
and can be used for both hay and haylage. We do not
recommend mixing diploid and tetraploid varieties as this
can lead to uneven conditioning of the sward, therefore
we only use diploid varieties.
This long term mixture has been formulated to support
the diverse demands horses place on a sward. A horse
paddock has to not only provide a source of food but also
an exercise area, placing great stress on the sward. Couple
this with the need to produce some winter forage and it is
obvious why some horse paddocks look completely bare
by the end of the summer season.

BETTER ESTABLISHMENT
WITH iSEED
The mixtures included on this page
are available as an iSeed option.
iSeed is a coating applied to
grass and clover seeds containing
selected amounts of essential
nutrients, which are immediately
available to the emerging seedling.
• Feeds the seed not the weed or existing grass
• Significantly improves uptake efficiency
• Increased root and shoot extension
• Average of 30% more viable plants per acre
• Improves stress tolerance
• Environmentally friendly
• No application costs
VERSAMAX MEAT & MILK
NO CLOVER
A longer term very high quality mixture suitable for the
dual operations of cutting and grazing. This blend will
provide excellent yields under both management systems.
The use of large quantities of tetraploid ryegrass will
improve sugar levels and make the ley more palatable
leading to greater voluntary animal intake. The addition
of timothy will also help with early spring growth and
summer palatability.

A long term pasture mixture, versatile in use, with
good persistence and resistance to disease. Leafy,
prostrate varieties provide good dense foliage capable of
withstanding even the heaviest of grazing.
This is a medium to long term mixture combining the
very high output of hybrid ryegrass and the quality and
persistence of perennial ryegrass into one of the most
popular dual purpose leys within the ForageMax range.
As the name implies, Flexicrop fulfils a dual purpose
role, offering excellent performance for both grazing and
conservation.
