{"product_id":"dairy-pasture-mix-irrigated","title":"Peaceful Valley Irrigated Dairy Pasture Mix - Nitrocoated Seed (lb)","description":"\u003cp\u003ePeaceful Valley Irrigated Dairy Pasture Mix is a cool-season forage blend for productive irrigated pasture. Orchardgrass and three complementary ryegrasses provide palatable grass forage and recovery after grazing, while red, Palestine strawberry, and Ladino clovers add protein, seasonal diversity, and biological nitrogen fixation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in full sun on fertile, well-drained soil where irrigation can maintain growth through dry periods. Sow in early spring or late summer, using a firm, weed-free seedbed. Drilling provides consistent placement; broadcast seed should be lightly incorporated or rolled. Keep livestock off seedlings until plants are firmly rooted, then use rotational grazing and adequate recovery intervals to maintain the grass-legume balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis mixture is designed to support dairy forage production, but milk response, yield, protein, and year-round growth depend on fertility, irrigation, climate, grazing stage, and the rest of the ration. Because the blend contains clovers, normal livestock-bloat precautions remain appropriate.\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 clover 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\u003eContains:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orchardgrass, tetraploid perennial ryegrass, Tetrelite intermediate ryegrass, tetraploid annual ryegrass, red clover, Palestine strawberry clover, and Ladino clover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse additional choices 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.
