[QUOTE="Great In Grass, post: 913120, member: 79"] SB/Peas is a very popular mixture in it's different guises and can be undersown with grass to great effect. Vetches added to such a mix raises protein levels a little while also adding to the nitrogen fixing properties of the peas, this type of mixture however tends to be too thick to be undersown, the vetches can also be a problem to kill of after harvest. Analysis vary and often bear no relationship to how the crop feeds out. The rolls royce of mixtures to my mind is spring barley/spring triticale with blue or white lupins, spring wheat/lupins is another possibility but yield is less. You can expect fresh weight yields of a triticale/lupin mix to be 12 tonne+/acre at a dry matter of 25-30%, D-values in excess of 70, ME around 11 maybe as high as 12, crude protein 13/14 or slightly higher and starch 20% plus. [USER=784]@Scholsey[/USER] grows some great wholecrop perhaps he'll pop in and give his views.
