Motherlode Range Mix
Motherlode Range Mix combines five grasses with subclovers, annual clovers and woolypod vetch to create one of Weaver Seed's most diverse dryland range mixtures. It is designed for range establishment and improvement where a broad combination of grass and legume growth habits is desired.
Mix Components
Five grasses combine with three subclover varieties, additional annual clovers and woolypod vetch for a highly diversified dryland range planting.
Mix Component Note: Mix components are subject to change based on seed availability. Substitutions may be made with comparable species or varieties when necessary.
Broad Diversity for Dryland Range
Motherlode Range Mix combines numerous grass and legume types to create a diversified planting for dryland range establishment and improvement.
Five-Grass Combination
Ryegrass, Hardinggrass, orchardgrass, tall fescue and Blando brome provide multiple grass growth habits within the stand.
Broad Legume Diversity
Subclovers, rose clover, Persian clover, balansa clover and woolypod vetch provide several broadleaf growth forms.
Biological Nitrogen Fixation
Successfully inoculated and nodulated legumes can fix atmospheric nitrogen within the soil-plant system.
Mixed Plant Structure
Grasses, clovers and vetch create different leaf structures and growth habits within the established range stand.
Forage Diversity
The broad species combination provides a more diverse forage stand than a single-grass or single-legume planting.
Dryland Range Focus
Motherlode Range Mix is designed for range projects where seasonal moisture and site conditions support dryland establishment.
One of Our Most Diverse Range Formulations
Motherlode Range Mix brings together five grasses and a broad assortment of legumes. The mixture is intended for projects where establishing several plant types within the same dryland range stand is a priority.
Dryland Establishment Note: Stand establishment and species expression depend heavily on rainfall, planting timing, soil conditions, temperature and local growing conditions. Dryland performance can vary substantially between sites and seasons.
