Alkali Pasture Mix
Alkali Pasture Mix combines Martin tall fescue and tall wheatgrass with strawberry clover, trefoil and grazing alfalfa. The formulation provides both grass and legume components for irrigated pasture situations where an alkali-focused pasture mix is desired.
Mix Components
Two pasture grasses and three forage legumes create a focused five-component irrigated pasture blend.
Mix Component Note: Mix components are subject to change based on seed availability. Substitutions may be made with comparable species or varieties when necessary.
Focused Grass & Legume Pasture Diversity
Alkali Pasture Mix uses a streamlined combination of perennial-type pasture grasses and forage legumes for managed irrigated pasture.
Grass Combination
Martin tall fescue and tall wheatgrass provide two complementary grass components within the pasture stand.
Three Forage Legumes
Strawberry clover, trefoil and grazing alfalfa add broadleaf forage and additional plant diversity.
Biological Nitrogen Fixation
Successfully inoculated and nodulated legumes can fix atmospheric nitrogen within the pasture system.
Mixed Forage Structure
Grasses and broadleaf legumes provide different leaf forms and growth habits throughout the established pasture.
Alkali-Focused Option
The formulation provides an irrigated pasture option specifically positioned for sites where an alkali pasture mix is being considered.
Livestock Pasture Use
The grass-and-legume combination provides a multi-species forage stand for managed livestock pasture.
Site Conditions Still Matter
Alkali Pasture Mix is intended as a specialized pasture option, but establishment and stand performance still depend on site conditions, irrigation, soil fertility and grazing management.
Pasture Management Note: Pasture performance varies with soil conditions, irrigation, fertility, planting timing, grazing pressure, stocking rate and local climate. New plantings should be well established before grazing begins.
