{"product_id":"bloat-resist-pasture-mix-irrigated","title":"Peaceful Valley Bloat Resistant Irrigated Pasture Mix - Nitrocoated Seed (lb)","description":"\u003cp\u003ePeaceful Valley Bloat Resistant Irrigated Pasture Mix combines persistent cool-season grasses with legumes selected to reduce—but not eliminate—the bloat risk associated with some legume-dominant pastures. The blend includes orchardgrass, tetraploid perennial ryegrass, Tetrelite ryegrass, strawberry clover, and birdsfoot trefoil, creating a productive perennial forage stand for irrigated, well-drained sites below approximately 4,000 feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBirdsfoot trefoil contains condensed tannins and is generally considered non-bloating, while grasses help dilute rapidly fermentable legume forage. Even with this formulation, no pasture is completely bloat-safe. Introduce livestock gradually, avoid turning hungry animals onto lush wet forage, maintain grass in the stand, and consult a livestock or veterinary professional for a complete bloat-prevention program.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in early spring or late summer into a firm, weed-free seedbed. Drill for the most uniform placement or broadcast and press seed into the soil for reliable seed-to-soil contact. Keep livestock off the field until plants are firmly rooted, then use managed rotational grazing to preserve stand density and recovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drill at 25 lb per acre; broadcast at 30 lb per acre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInoculant:\u003c\/strong\u003e No additional inoculant is normally needed; the legume seed is Nitrocoated with compatible inoculant.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant height:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to approximately 3½ feet, depending on management\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUses:\u003c\/strong\u003e Irrigated pasture for horses, sheep, cattle, and general livestock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore additional options in our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.groworganic.mom\/collections\/all-cover-crop-seeds\"\u003eCover Crop and Pasture Seed Collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote for certified organic growers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nitrocoated seed is conventionally grown, non-GMO seed with no fungicide or insecticide seed treatment applied before coating.
