Erosion Control Seed Mix

WS-601

Streamlined Grass & Clover Erosion Control Mix

WS-601 combines Blando brome and annual ryegrass with rose, crimson and Persian clovers to provide a straightforward multi-species option for vegetative soil cover. The mix combines fibrous-rooted grasses with nitrogen-fixing legumes for disturbed ground, slopes and erosion-control applications.

Agronomic Benefits

Straightforward Vegetative Soil Cover

WS-601 uses a focused grass-and-clover formulation to provide several complementary erosion-control functions without an overly complex species list.

01

Early Vegetative Growth

Annual ryegrass can establish relatively quickly under favorable conditions, helping develop early ground cover following successful germination.

02

Fibrous Rooting

Blando brome and annual ryegrass produce fibrous root systems that occupy surface soil and contribute to the vegetative framework of the planting.

03

Biological Nitrogen Fixation

Rose, crimson and Persian clovers are legumes capable of fixing atmospheric nitrogen when successfully inoculated, nodulated and established.

04

Surface Protection

Living vegetation reduces the amount of bare soil directly exposed to wind and rainfall as the stand develops.

05

Grass & Legume Diversity

Combining grasses with clovers introduces different plant forms and rooting patterns compared with relying on a single-species erosion-control planting.

06

Reclamation Applications

WS-601 is suited to situations where establishing vegetation is part of the management strategy for disturbed or erosion-prone soil.

Establishment Note: Successful erosion control depends on more than seed selection. Seedbed preparation, planting timing, soil conditions, moisture, slope and establishment success all influence final stand performance.

Functional Design

A Focused Grass & Clover Combination

WS-601 keeps the formulation simple: two grass species provide the primary fibrous-rooted vegetative framework while three clovers add broadleaf growth and biological nitrogen-fixing capability.

Establishment
Annual Ryegrass
Provides a relatively fast-establishing grass component that can contribute early living cover.
Grass Component
Blando Brome
Adds another fibrous-rooted grass with a different growth habit to the erosion-control stand.
Legume Component
Three Clover Species
Rose, crimson and Persian clovers add broadleaf growth and biological nitrogen fixation when successfully nodulated.
