Specialist Establishment Tip
Specialist Establishment Tip: in all native mixes, you often won’t see a mature species during the first season. Weed management and upkeep should be the number one priority during the first year. To give this mix a boost and reduce erosion during establishment, we added QuickGard Sterile Triticale to the mix.
Multiple Regions
Every acre is different and our goal is to help you know what works best in your area. This 'Growing Regions' section showcases where this species works best. If you have any questions on product placement, feel free to contact our experts and we will help!
