Economy Erosion Control Mix
Economy Erosion Control Mix combines barley, annual ryegrass and Blando brome with crimson and rose clovers. The streamlined formulation is designed to establish vegetative cover on disturbed and erosion-prone soils while combining fast-growing grasses, fibrous root systems and nitrogen-fixing legumes.
Mix Components
Three grasses and two clover species provide a focused combination of vegetative cover, fibrous rooting and legume growth.
Practical Vegetative Cover for Disturbed Soil
The mix combines cereal and grass growth with legumes to establish living vegetation and multiple rooting types across exposed soils.
Early Ground Cover
Barley and annual ryegrass can produce relatively rapid vegetative growth under favorable establishment conditions, helping reduce the amount of exposed soil.
Fibrous Root Development
The grass components produce fibrous roots that occupy surface soil and contribute to the living root network within the established stand.
Biological Nitrogen Fixation
Crimson and rose clover are legumes capable of fixing atmospheric nitrogen when successfully inoculated, nodulated and established.
Surface Protection
Maintaining vegetation on disturbed ground reduces the amount of bare soil directly exposed to rainfall and wind as the stand develops.
Functional Simplicity
A focused five-component formulation provides grasses and legumes without the additional species complexity of Weaver Seed's broader erosion mixtures.
Disturbed-Site Fit
The mix is intended for projects where establishing living vegetation is part of protecting and stabilizing exposed or disturbed soil.
Establishment Note: Final erosion-control performance depends on seedbed preparation, planting timing, slope, soil conditions, rainfall or irrigation and successful stand establishment. Protect newly seeded areas from unnecessary disturbance while vegetation develops.
A Focused Grass & Clover Approach
Economy Erosion Control Mix uses a relatively simple species combination to provide several important functions: early vegetative growth, fibrous rooting, living soil cover and a nitrogen-fixing legume component.
