Bloat Resistant Mix
Bloat Resistant Mix combines four cool-season pasture grasses with strawberry clover and trefoil. The formulation maintains a strong grass base while adding two forage legumes for additional plant and forage diversity within an irrigated pasture.
Mix Components
Four cool-season grasses form the primary pasture base, with strawberry clover and trefoil adding complementary legume growth.
Mix Component Note: Mix components are subject to change based on seed availability. Substitutions may be made with comparable species or varieties when necessary.
A Grass-Forward Irrigated Pasture Blend
Bloat Resistant Mix emphasizes a diverse cool-season grass base while retaining a smaller legume component for additional forage and plant diversity.
Four-Grass Base
Tall fescue, festulolium, intermediate rye and orchardgrass provide several grass growth habits within the same irrigated pasture.
Focused Legume Component
Strawberry clover and trefoil add broadleaf forage without making the pasture entirely dependent on a large number of legume species.
Biological Nitrogen Fixation
Properly inoculated and nodulated legumes are capable of fixing atmospheric nitrogen within the pasture system.
Mixed Forage Structure
Multiple grasses together with two broadleaf legumes provide more varied plant structure than a single-species grass pasture.
Irrigated Pasture Fit
The formulation is designed for managed irrigated pasture where adequate moisture supports continued cool-season forage growth.
Grazing Pasture Option
The mix provides a multi-species grass-and-legume option for livestock producers establishing or renovating managed pasture.
Establish the Pasture Before Grazing
Give a newly seeded pasture sufficient time to establish before livestock are introduced. Once the stand is established, rotational grazing and adequate recovery periods can help maintain the different grass and legume components within the pasture.
Pasture Management Note: Pasture performance varies with irrigation, soil fertility, planting timing, grazing pressure, stocking rate and local growing conditions. New plantings should be well established before grazing begins.
