WS-501
WS-501 combines annual and perennial grasses with three clover species to provide diversified vegetative cover on disturbed or erosion-prone soils. The mixture brings together fast-establishing grasses, longer-lived grass components and nitrogen-fixing legumes in one erosion-control planting.
Mix Components
Four grasses and three clovers provide complementary establishment patterns, rooting characteristics and seasonal growth.
Built for Vegetative Soil Protection
WS-501 combines several grass growth habits with clovers to establish living vegetation across exposed or disturbed soils.
Early Establishment
Annual ryegrass can establish relatively quickly under favorable conditions, providing early vegetative growth while other components continue developing.
Fibrous Root Coverage
The grass components develop fibrous root systems that occupy the surface soil and help hold soil particles in place as the stand establishes.
Biological Nitrogen Fixation
Rose, crimson and Persian clovers are legumes capable of fixing atmospheric nitrogen when successfully established, inoculated and nodulated.
Living Surface Cover
Establishing vegetation reduces the amount of bare soil directly exposed to rainfall and wind, an important component of erosion-management programs.
Multiple Growth Habits
Combining annual ryegrass, brome, fescues and clovers provides more variation in growth habit and seasonal development than a single-species planting.
Reclamation Fit
The mixture is suited to projects where establishing vegetative cover is part of stabilizing disturbed soil, slopes, banks or other exposed areas.
Establishment Note: Erosion-control performance depends on seedbed preparation, planting timing, soil conditions, slope, rainfall or irrigation and successful stand establishment. Protect newly seeded areas from excessive traffic or disturbance while vegetation develops.
Fast Cover With a Diverse Grass & Clover Base
WS-501 combines grasses with different establishment and growth characteristics alongside three clover species. This provides several plant types within the seeded area rather than relying on a single species for erosion control.
