Herbal light land

TechniSward’s light land herbal mixture contains species specifically selected to work well in drought prone soils.

Fojtan festulolium with its tall fescue genetics is deep rooting and incredibly drought tolerant whilst its perennial ryegrass genetics ensure excellent grazing quality. Sainfoin and Lucerne are light land specialists that fix nitrogen and provide high quality protein and health benefits. Altaswede red clover is a later heading variety that is better suited to one cut and grazing.
