Game Cover MUSTARD SOW 6KG/ACRE Versatile and easy to establish whether broadcast or drilled. Fast germination and can be sown in spring or autumn. Susceptible to hard frosts. GAME MAIZE BLEND APPROX 45,000 SEEDS/ACRE Very popular blend of early, medium and late maturing varieties which can provide full season cover and feed. Can become rather open late season on exposed sites, to combat this we recommend the adjacent planting of a kale or millet strip. GIANT SORGHUM SOW 12KG/ACRE A hybrid between Sudan grass and sorghum used extensively in the southern hemisphere as a high production summer forage crop. Winter hardy and provides 3m high dense cover. Shows excellent response to nitrogen and should be drilled 4cm deep in row widths up to 75cm. DWARF / GRAIN SORGHUM SOW 8KG/ACRE An easy to establish vigorous hybrid growing to approx 2m in height. A short, large leaved type with good standing ability giving ideal cover and creating a warm holding area for birds. QUINOA SOW 4KG/ACRE Can produce up to 1000kg high protein seed per acre. This high seed yield means Quinoa is best planted with a companion crop to aid standing. Kale is usually utilised to achieve this and we can offer a mixture blended to the correct ratio. 40
Game Cover GIANT RAPE SOW D-2.5KG B-5KG/ACRE Quick growing cover offering an alternative to kale where rabbits and pigeons are a problem. Grows well on poorer soils. Not to be confused with forage rape which is much lower in height. WHITE MILLET SOW 5KG/ACRE Mainly used in conjunction with maize or kale into which it can be cross drilled. Highly valued for its feed production, white millet also provides valuable ground level cover. The bushy seed heads can reach one metre in height. MILLET MIX SOW 5KG/ACRE Very successful blend of winter hardy reed millet and white millet. This allows the mixture to be utilised through to late February. Often used as a windproof strip alongside maize and kale. SUNFLOWER SEED SOW 5KG/ACRE Available as black or striped, black seeded varieties tend to be shorter with greater flower production. Not only do these plants add colour to the cover they are useful in attracting wildlife. Used to enhance other cover crops such as maize. KALE SOW D-2KG B-3KG/ACRE Popular for gamecover. A wide range of varieties available to suit different requirements. The list is too long to put into print but we can find a variety to suit your needs. 41
