Tipperary Grass Multispecies Mixture

In recent years, multi-species swards have become increasingly popular amongst farmers in Ireland due to their ability to produce high yields of quality forage, with greatly reduced rates of nitrogen Tipperary-bag_Blank fertiliser compared to ryegrass-only swards.

The use of multi-species swards compared to grass only swards can also provide a wide range of environmental and ecological benefits:

  • Plantain and chicory act at different levels to avoid losses of nitrogen on the farm: reduced leaching, better N use by livestock, and fewer emissions from urine patches.
  • Higher rates of carbon sequestration due to deeper root depths.
  • They are also very beneficial for biodiversity and in particular pollinators who feed on the flowering plants in multi-species swards.

 

 

 

Tipperary Grass Horse GrazingTipperary-bag_Blank

  • Suitable for hay, haylage, or as a grazing mixture.
