WS-401
WS-401 combines annual and perennial grasses, three clover species and a wildflower component in a diversified erosion-control planting. The mixture is designed to establish vegetative soil cover while combining fast-growing species with grasses and legumes that provide different rooting and growth characteristics.
Mix Components
Grasses, legumes and wildflowers combine several establishment speeds, root systems and growth habits in one erosion-control mix.
Diverse Vegetation for Erosion Control
WS-401 combines species with complementary establishment patterns and root structures to create living cover on exposed soil.
Rapid Early Cover
Annual ryegrass can establish relatively quickly under favorable conditions, helping develop vegetative cover while slower components continue establishing.
Fibrous Root Systems
The grass components produce extensive fibrous root systems that help bind surface soil and maintain living roots throughout the established stand.
Biological Nitrogen Fixation
Crimson, Persian and rose clovers are legumes capable of fixing atmospheric nitrogen when successfully established, inoculated and nodulated.
Surface Protection
Vegetative growth helps reduce the amount of bare soil directly exposed to rainfall and wind, supporting erosion-management goals on disturbed sites.
Species Diversity
Multiple grasses and clovers provide different growth habits and seasonal responses rather than relying on a single species for establishment.
Wildflower Component
The incorporated wildflower blend adds flowering broadleaf species to the planting while maintaining the grasses and legumes as the primary erosion-control framework.
Establishment Note: Erosion-control performance depends on seedbed preparation, planting timing, soil conditions, rainfall or irrigation, slope, establishment success and site management. Newly seeded areas should be protected from excessive disturbance while the stand establishes.
Three Plant Groups in One Erosion Mix
WS-401 combines grasses, legumes and wildflowers so the planting provides more than one growth habit and rooting strategy across the seeded area.
