For forest districts on acidic and poor soils.
The WaidGreen® forest pioneer mixture provides a year-round, ruminant-friendly and high-energy grazing that thrives on almost all locations (including humus and nutrient-poor or acidic soil). The types and proportions of the mixture are selected in such a way that over a period of three years they result in a wild field with cover crops and simultaneous undersowing function and can be converted into permanent green grassland with two to three years of use without reseeding.
This wild field mixture is characterized by a variety of pioneer plants that open up the soil and at the same time are very readily accepted by hoofed game. In the first year, the oats provide cover, while the perennial rye covers the ground well due to its initially low growth (good weed suppression). Only in the second year does the perennial rye assume the function of cover. In the third year, the clover and grass species are among the stock builders.
