Frequently Asked Questions
What is an SFI grassland mix?
A mix containing a minimum of five grass species (not including ryegrass) to establish a diverse, permanent grass sward.
Where can it be used?
Ideal for low-input pasture, field corners, wildlife margins, or permanent grassland under SFI.
When should I sow it?
Sow by early autumn within 12 months of SFI agreement start, or maintain existing eligible grassland.
How is it managed?
Maintain intact sward – cut or graze outside breeding season, remove cuttings, and avoid fertiliser or pesticide use over winter.
Can I reuse existing grassland?
Yes – existing diverse swards meeting requirements can be retained.
