Two Year Legume Fallow – Economy 20kg AB15 / NUM3 / CNUM3

The AB15 / NUM3 / CNUM3 Two Year Legume Fallow – Economy is a cost-effective legume-rich seed mixture designed to establish a two-year legume fallow following harvest. The mixture is formulated with six flowering legume species — Berseem Clover, Crimson Clover, Vetch, Sainfoin, Alsike Clover and Sweet Yellow Blossom Clover — to establish a flowering fallow that provides green cover through the winter months and flowers during spring and summer.

Vetch forms the largest component of the mixture at 50%, supported by Crimson Clover at 20%, Berseem Clover and Sainfoin at 10% each, with Alsike Clover and Sweet Yellow Blossom Clover completing the formulation. The resulting legume-rich area has a stated height of 20–120cm and flowering period from May to September.

Sow after harvest at 10kg per acre, either by broadcasting or shallow drilling followed by rolling. A 20kg pack covers approximately 2 acres at the recommended sowing rate. Always check the current requirements applying to your particular SFI or Countryside Stewardship agreement before establishment.
