BARBUMPER establishes quickly to provide a catch and cover crop with rapid growth, offering production late into autumn and in early spring, and extra grazing opportunities over winter.


BARBUMPER gives flexibility for up to 18 months to fit into different rotations. It can be established after a spring cereal harvest, or where an autumn sowing hasn't been successful and a short term solution is required in the rotation.


This ryegrass mix is designed to give lots of biomass, producing leafy quality forage quickly.

 

Cover Crop
Helps to improve soil quality, and provides other benefits through active growth, rooting, ground cover and habitat provision in arable rotations over bare fallow, reducing nutrient losses via run-off and leaching and increased weed incursion.
