Choose the right species for the right situation.

 

When deciding on the components of a tropical custom mix, it is important to consider the needs of your farm and the outcomes you wish to achieve.

 

The area of adaptability of each species of grass and legume will be essential to successful establishment and long-term establishment. Choose a species that suits your soil, environmental factors and the type of grazing and livestock you wish to run.
