 Alfalfa/Grass
Mixture 500 Series for Hay and Haylage
The 500 Series consists of 10 different mixtures that can meet your
Dairy, Beef, Horse, Sheep and Wildlife livestock needs. Corland's
Alfalfa/Grass Mixture 500 Series are combinations of alfalfa with
three different grasses.The alfalfa content can vary from 85% to as
low as 25% alfalfa depending on the field conditions, feed quality
and animal use. These three grasses give your field the yield
potential in wet, dry and normal growing conditions.
Alfalfa/Grass Mixtures were developed to handle heavy clay, loam
and/or sandy soil by varying the ratio of alfalfa to grass. The 500
Series has produced protein levels as high as 26% Crude Protein on a
dry matter basis and a relative feed value of 196. Your Fertilizer
Program should be geared to the ratio of alfalfa/grass. Alfalfa is
negatively affected by high levels of nitrogen so potassium and
phosphate must be maintained at proper levels. Healthy alfalfa
produces nitrogen which is utilized by grasses. Call our office
should you need further information on fertilizer recommendations. |
