    SiloBuster Plus Pea & Barley mix offers an elite combination of quality forage peas (50% LC6040) and forage barley (50% Top Ton), ideal as nurse crop or straight forage. SiloBuster mixes can be planted in early spring to serve as a nurse crop or early fall to fulfill forage needs.

     

    CHARACTERISTICS:

    • Seed Quality: LC 6040 peas have a tougher seed coat
    • Dry Matter Yield: LC 6040 peas have longer vines, larger leaf surface, giving higher yield, more milk
    • Establishment: LC 6040 peas emerge faster, especially in cooler soils. The LC 6040 seed coat contains a more effective metabolic system that imparts the ability to germinate and emerge more rapidly, when soils are wet or cool.

     

    SEEDING:

    Seeding Rate:
    Alone (lbs./acre): 100-150
    As Nurse Crop (lbs./acre): 100-120

    Planting Time: Best in early spring or fall when weather is cooler and moisture is reliable.

    Life Cycle: Annual

     

    MANAGEMENT:

    • Late boot stage for lactating dairy cows
    • Soft dough stage for heifers, dry cows and beef cattle
