Depth
• Forage seed is generally small and therefore has little food reserves to support emergence . Forages should be seeded no deeper than one-half inch to three-quarter inches deep into a firm seedbed . A firm seedbed is necessary for good seed to soil contact . Broadcasted seed should be incorporated shallowly and packed accordingly .
Seed Rates
• Alfalfa and Master Blends : Target for 10 lbs / ac in direct seeded situations and 15 lbs / ac if the forage seed is broadcasted and incorporated .
• Individual grass species : Consult your local Nutrien Ag Solutions representative .
Seed percentages (%) are expressed based on the seed weight in the blend , not the percentage (%) component in the forage stand . Nutrien Ag Solutions reserves the right to substitute any Master Blend component . Products and proportions of Master Blends are subject to availability and may change without notice .
