It is important not to jeopardise the production of grassland with poor quality grass seed, the NWF Champion™ & Ultra grass seed range contains highly rated cultivars, all on the NIAB 2013 Recommended List and updated every year to include the best varieties available.

 

The range is blended and packaged by Barenbrug UK, one of the largest grass breeders and producers in the UK and Europe. Barenbrug are internationally respected grass breeders dedicated to ensuring the maximum return out of grass. The team’s expertise and skills have led to the development a superb range of quality grass seed mixtures for NWF.

Our range of grass seed mixtures has been developed to cover all grassland management systems using the very best NIAB recommended varieties which are processed to HVS standard assuring the highest purity and germination available.

 

When choosing varieties for the mixtures, high sugars, dry matter yield, and D-value are the main selection criteria. In addition, persistence and disease resistance and also considered when selecting varieties suitable for key grass growing areas.
