Gamestay Kale Blend
A blend has an advantage over a single variety as it provides:
- Greater disease resistance
- Greater tolerance to weather conditions

The varieties in this blend have all been demonstrated in our own trials and have been selected to complement each other to provide a canopy throughout the whole season. This also must be drilled.

A mix of varieties offering good feed and late cover value.

- Kale Linseed

Gamestay Sorghum
A very useful addition to the cover crop family in either a mix or on its own. It combines well with maize and can be grown on the outside or across rows. Sorghum is also very tolerant to many herbicides used on maize this therefore makes it an ideal partner. But DON’T be tempted to plant too early as it requires a good soil temperature to establish. Weather is key with this seed.
