Sorghum Sudan
Warm Season Grass
Mycorrhizal Dependent: Yes
Water Use: Low
Why Chosen For Blend: Rapid growth in hot & dry conditions. Ideal for sod seeding due to C4 growth characteristics.
Sorghum Sudan BMR
Warm Season Grass
Mycorrhizal Dependent: Yes
Water Use: Low
Why Chosen For Blend: Sorghum Sudangrass with reduced lignin content for higher digestibility. (BMR)
Mung Beans
Warm Season Legume
Mycorrhizal Dependent: Yes
Water Use: Low
Why Chosen For Blend: Indeterminant plant species therefore can accumulate significant vegetative growth. Climbing growth characteristics are ideal for a blend environment.
Italian Rye Grass
Cool Season Grass
Mycorrhizal Dependent: Yes
Water Use: Medium
Why Chosen For Blend: Highly digestible with vigorous regrowth. Fibrous root system for establishment in sod.
Forage Oats
Cool Season Grass
Mycorrhizal Dependent: Yes
Water Use: Medium
Why Chosen For Blend: Great nutrient scavenger due to dense fibrous root system. One of the most mycorrhizal-dependent cereals.
Forage Peas
Cool Season Legume
Mycorrhizal Dependent: Yes
Water Use: Medium
Why Chosen For Blend: Rapid growth & establishment, especially in sod. Forage pea varieties focus on smaller seed size & increased biomass - rather than on grain yield
Sunflower Black Oil
Warm Season Broadleaf
Mycorrhizal Dependent: Yes
Water Use: Low
Why Chosen For Blend: Flowers attract a large array of beneficial insects. Deep rooting. Beneficial at solubilizing minerals in soil profile. (zinc)
Purple Top Turnips
Cool Season Broadleaf (Brassica)
Mycorrhizal Dependent: No
Water Use: High
Why Chosen For Blend: Highly nutritious brassica (digestibility & protein). Tuber scavenges nitrogen and other nutrients for slow-release decomposition the following year.
Non GMO Forage Soybeans
Warm Season Legume
Mycorrhizal Dependent: Yes
Water Use: Medium
Comments: A non-gmo forage soybean. Can accumulate significant vegetative growth.
