Irrigated pasture seed includes grasses, legumes, and blends intended for sites where dependable water supports establishment and seasonal regrowth. Select a product around livestock, climate, soil, irrigation capacity, grazing or cutting schedule, and whether you are creating a new stand or renovating an existing pasture.
Plan an irrigated pasture
-
Water system: Account for application uniformity, soil infiltration, drainage, and the frequency and amount of water available.
-
Forage use: Match species to grazing animals, hay production, poultry forage, orchard use, or multi-purpose pasture.
-
Seasonal growth: Compare cool- and warm-season activity, dormancy, persistence, and recovery after grazing or cutting.
-
Stand design: Choose a prepared blend for complementary traits or individual species for more precise control.
Seed treatment and establishment
Products in this collection do not all use the same coating or inoculation. Some are raw seed, while others may be coated or pre-inoculated. Read the product details before choosing an inoculant or calculating seed weight. Use the product-specific seeding rate; drill and broadcast rates, seed treatments, and new-stand versus renovation needs can differ.
Soil testing, weed control, good seed-to-soil contact, and careful irrigation during establishment are central to success. Compare all pasture seed or dryland pasture seed for sites with limited water.
