OVS offers
PGG seed from IOKA Farms. Five
different seed blends are stocked in the OVS warehouses with
nine additional
blends available by special order.
DriveRow
is a perennial grass cover crop. It’s
20% creeping Red Fescue and 80%
Perennial Ryegrass. These turf
types are slow growing grasses. This
cover crop will do a great job of
building up a tough turf that will
withstand equipment, even during the wet
times of the year. DriveRow also
requires less mowing and water in the
summer. As low as 30# per acre will
establish a 100% stand, but faster
results and better weed suppression
may be achieved at higher seeding rates
(50# per acre).
VineMate
is a combination of three grasses that
will establish quickly to prevent
erosion and build up the nitrogen in the
soil. It’s a combination of 80% Gala
Brome, 15% Henry Hard Fescue and 5%
Plantain. The Plantain supplies a quick
establishing tap root to break up
compacted soil. This low grower provides
high biomass and mineral accumulation.
VineMate requires little water and will
provide a tough base for equipment while
preventing the soil from becoming
compacted. The grasses are well
established in the first year. (25-50#
per acre).
Wheat
is an economical solution to providing
erosion control. It germinates at low
temperatures. Plan to plow it under in
the spring. (70-90# per acre).
OVS stocks
three blends of biomass seed. All are
nitrogen fixing, provide erosion control
and are designed to plowdown. Each seeds
at 50-80# per acre.
