Sainfoin in permanent pasture reseed

[paul attard]

I wish to add sainfoin to my grass seeds mix, which already has Ryegrass (incl tetraploid), Timothy, Cocksfoot, white clover & some chicory. How much to add & will it grow or be smothered out?
Many thanks

The field, our son's, only 1ha, got drilled about 3-4 weeks ago, but because of lockdown, I haven't been able to go there yet to see it. The sainfoin was included but we need some warm weather for the drilling to show its best. I also included some chicory bought separately in the mix.
Actually I liberally spread sainfoin by hand in my small allotment last October as a green manure & it came up really well. So no reason why it shouldn't come up as well on a larger scale!

Sainfoin sown as a straight would be 30-35kgs/acre so go from there remember it's a large seed.
