Potomac orchard grass seed (Certified)

Potomac Orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata)Plant 10 – 20 Lbs per Acre.Orchardgrass is a bunch-type, tall-growing, cool-season perennial grass. It is one of the most productive cool-season grasses, tolerant to shade, fairly drought resistant with moderate winter hardiness. Orchardgrass does not exhibit as much tolerance to drought or winter hardiness as tall fescue and bromegrass. It has been reported growing in the United States since before 1760.Most orchardgrass is seeded with a companion legume. Seeding methods Drilling orchardgrass and the companion legume seed is preferred. The use of drills, such as the Brillion type or grain drills, will usually result in better stands at the same seeding rate, more controlled seeding depth and better seed distribution than broadcasting. Good results are obtained with grain drills when orchardgrass is put through the grain box and the companion legume is seeded from the small legume box. The legume seed should be allowed to drop straight to the ground to prevent covering too deep. Drag chains on the drill will cover the seed adequately. Pull a cultipacker or light roller over the field to give good seed-to-soil contact and promote more vigorous seedling growth.Orchardgrass should be planted at a rate of 10 – 20 lbs per acre. Seedings of orchardgrass can also be made with broadcast equipment such as fertilizer trucks, buggies or tractor-mounted distribution. Broadcast equipment will not throw orchardgrass seed as far as it will throw fertilizer or heavier seeds such as fescue. To help avoid uneven stands, drive the equipment close enough to overlap the previous spread pattern to ensure even seed distribution.Orchardgrass seed should be covered with about 1/4 to 1/2 inch of soil. Spike tooth harrows or “brush type” drags make good tools for covering broadcast seed. The use of a cultipacker or lightweight roller is very important for the same reasons cited above. fertility.

Trical 342 Triticale Seed

Trical 342 Triticale Seed Triticale is a highly-versatile hybrid forage for grazing, silage, bailage, and boot-stage hay. Triticale is a cross between Wheat and Rye. Triticale is excellent forage for dairy cows at the boot stage and for beef cows and dairy heifers at the soft dough stage. High protein, digestibility, and significantly higher yields than other boot stage cereal grains. Recommended planting time is spring and fall when night time temperatures are consistently below 65 degrees. Product Detail Hybrid forage for grazing High protein and digestibility Cool season annual Higher yields Treated Seed Product Information Triticale is an annual grass developed through a cross between winter wheat and winter rye. It is commonly planted for forage production and displays desirable traits from each of its parent species. It is winter hardy like cereal rye but produces higher quality forage. Triticale is very drought tolerant. It will perform best on well drained to moderately drained soilsSeed Rate: 50 to 150 lbs. / Acre – Depth of 1/2 to 1 inch.

Crown Vetch Seed

Crown Vetch SeedSeeding Rate 10 Lbs. per Acre. / 1 lb. per 4000 Sq.ft.Features:Creeping, spreading growth habitCompound leaves with 15 to 25 oblong leaflets per leafPinkish-white flowers occurring in clusters from May to AugustCrown vetch (Coronilla Varia) is a perennial herbaceous plant in the pea/legume family. Native to the Mediterranean region of Europe, southwest Asia and northern Africa, it was initially brought into the United States for erosion control during the 1950s. After its introduction, additional uses included livestock forage, green fertilizer and ornamental ground cover. Planted widely throughout the United States, crown vetch is now naturalized in all but four states. Planting of crown vetch continues today primarily along roadsides and other rights of way to stabilize banks and prevent erosion. Found most frequently within disturbed areas, it also commonly populates open fields, waste grounds and gravel bars along streams. Crown vetch tolerates a variety of environmental conditions and grows in dry to moistsoils. However, it prefers open, sunny areas and is intolerant of full shade. Creeping stems, growing 2 to 6 feet long, result in large clumps of crown vetch. Leaves are compound, consisting of 15 to 25 (always odd numbered) oblong leaflets 1 to 2 inches long. Pea-like, pinkish-white flowers occur in clusters at the end of long stalks and bloom from May through August. The flowers develop into long, narrow, flattened pods containing slender seeds. Crown vetch seeds prolifically, with a persistent seed bank remaining viable for up to 15 years. Spreading vegetative, rhizomes can reach lengths of 10 feet, rapidly expanding stands of crown vetch.
