GOLDCROP Diamond Hi-Digestibility Grass Seed

Key Features of Diamond Premium Clover Hi Digestibility

Optimal Clover Levels
Teagasc recommends incorporating 1.5 kg of Medium Leaf Clover into an established sward. This ensures optimal clover content, enhancing nitrogen fixation and improving forage quality. The presence of clover not only boosts soil fertility but also meets the nutritional needs of grazing animals.

Proven Varieties
This mix features Chieftain and Crusader, two established white clover varieties known for their exceptional performance in trials. Their resilience and adaptability ensure consistent results in varying growing conditions, significantly contributing to the longevity and productivity of pastures.

Exceptional Spring Growth
Varieties like GlenField and AstonConqueror exhibit high spring growth, as evidenced by the 2024 Pasture Profit Index (PPI). Their rapid early-season growth compensates for typically lower spring growth in high-clover swards, ensuring a reliable supply of nutritious forage when livestock need it most.

High-Quality Grazing Management
All components in this mix receive 4 and 5-star ratings for grazing, facilitating easy clean grazout, which is critical for promoting clover establishment. Effective grazing management enhances forage utilization and supports clover persistence over time.

Superior Yield and Quality
The high PPI grass varieties in this mix offer excellent seasonal yields, superior forage quality, and effective graze-out capabilities. High-ranking graze-out varieties foster healthier pastures, further enhancing productivity.

Driving Nitrogen Fixation
A good graze-out is vital for increasing clover content, driving nitrogen fixation in the soil. This process reduces reliance on synthetic fertilizers, making farming systems more sustainable and cost-effective.
