Two Year Legume Fallow Seed Mix 20kg - AB15 / NUM3 / CNUM3

The AB15 / NUM3 / CNUM3 Two Year Legume Fallow Seed Mix is a specialist legume-rich seed mixture designed to establish a two-year legume fallow following harvest. The mixture provides green cover through the winter months before flowering during spring and summer, creating an established legume fallow as part of an agricultural environmental management system.

The formulation contains six flowering legume species: Common Vetch, Red Clover, Sweet Yellow Blossom Clover, Lucerne, Alsike Clover and Yellow Trefoil. Common Vetch forms the largest component at 50%, with Red Clover at 20%, Sweet Yellow Blossom Clover at 13% and Lucerne at 10%. The combination provides a diverse flowering legume area with a stated flowering period from May to September.

Sow after harvest at 10kg per acre, using either broadcasting or shallow drilling followed by rolling. The 20kg pack covers approximately 2 acres at the recommended sowing rate. The resulting legume fallow provides green cover over the winter and flowering vegetation during spring and summer.
