20.01.2022 Sodbuster Radish Developed in New Zealand, this new forage radish has a multitude of application options. It’s large tap roots can penetrate as far as 1.8m deep, plowing and breaking up the hardpan whilst foraging for below ground nutrients. Once the above ground pasture is utilised, the root quickly decomposes, leaving behind aerated soil perfect for water penetration and helping to release nitrogen from the soil. The high levels of Glucosinolate in Sodbuster makes this radi...sh an excellent natural bio-fumigant, which greatly reduces nematode populations. The leaves are exceptionally high in protein, making this radish a great livestock forage option. Agronomic Information: Weed suppressor Prefers sandy or clay soils Sowing rates 3-5kg/ha as a standalone crop or 1-2kg/ha in a blend Order seeds and fertiliser on our website: https://bellpastureseeds.com.au/ Bell Pasture Seeds (08) 9727 2243 [email protected]

16.01.2022 Linseed Linseed is an annual, warm-season broadleaf flowering plant. Linseed or Flax, is often used as a companion crop in warm-season mixtures with the aim of attracting and maintaining pollinators in the orchard throughout the year. By including it in your cover crop or Green Manure mix it gives you the added benefit of building organic matter to then be sown directly back into the ground, attracts pollinators and also attracts insect predators to help keep your orchard...s safe naturally. AGRONOMIC INFORMATION: Suitable for rainfall 400-750mm Linseed grows best in well structured soils, with heavier textured soils preferable to lighter sands. It can tolerate some waterlogging, but should not be sown in the autumn on land that is poorly drained. It will tolerate acidic soils unless the pH values are very low, in which case crops may benefit from lime application. Low nutrient demand Flowering can last 2-4 weeks Use in a cover crop mix at 3-6kg/ha or as a standalone crop sown at 25-50kg/ha Helps mobilise phosphorus in soil Order seeds on our website: https://bellpastureseeds.com.au/ Bell Pasture Seeds (08) 9727 2243 [email protected] #bellseeds #bellpastureseeds #seedgrowers #seedcleaning #seedtreating #argonomist #farmers #seedvarieties

10.01.2022 MPT Turnip Mammoth Purple Top turnip is a root brassica crop most commonly used for forage. It does well in colder climates. Fast-growing summer fodder crop with excellent feeding value. Its deep taproot creates perfect channels for plant roots to easily follow, making it excellent at taking residual nitrogen and putting it back into the soil. Many turnips can be grazed twice to permit the utilization of top growth and roots. Turnips are a great cover crop to plant between or... before cereal crops. Turnips have high sugar content making them extremely palatable for livestock such as cattle or sheep. They also have high moisture content and are packed with protein making them an excellent choice for winter grazing. Turnips are extremely winter hardy which is a huge advantage if planting in the late Autumn. Agronomic Information: Livestock should not feed on turnip during the breeding season or after the plants have begun to flower. Nitrate nitrogen toxicity can be a problem, especially if ruminants are allowed to graze on immature crops or if soil nitrogen levels are high. The risk may remain for a longer period of time in autumn than in summer To prevent problems with diseases, Brassicas should not be grown on the same site more than two years in a row. If clubroot is a problem, rotation should be six years Turnip grows best in a moderately deep loam, fertile and slightly acid soil. Turnip does not do well in soils that are of high clay texture, wet or poorly drained. For good root growth turnip needs a loose, well-aerated soil Rainfall 600mm+ Sowing Rate 0.5-2kg/ha in a cover crop blend Order seeds and fertiliser on our website: https://bellpastureseeds.com.au/ Bell Pasture Seeds (08) 9727 2243 [email protected] #bellseeds #bellpastureseeds #seedgrowers #seedcleaning #seedtreating #argonomist #farmers #seedvarieties #fertiliser

With its rapid establishment and ready for the first graze in 60-90 days, Pillar is a v...ariety that will provide more feed from later grazings. Extremely important to note, however, is that Brassicas should always be introduced slowly to livestock and with the addition of added fibre in the form of hay, straw or baled silage to lessen the chance of rumen acidosis or bloat. With a crude protein level between 14-20%, the energy level of brassicas is equivalent to high-quality conserved forages.
