Name: | Yellow Serradella (Ornithopus compressus) |
---|
Description: | A self-regenerating annual legume, growing in autumn, winter and spring. Suited to deep, sandy, acid soils with moderate to high levels of exchangeable aluminium (except cv. Madeira). Not suited to poorly drained or waterlogged soils. Seed with hull removed is preferred, if available. Podded seed will need to undergo a breakdown period and hence establishment will be slow. Mixtures of varieties of different maturities and hard seed levels are useful. Sow in autumn. |

Sowing rate: | Seed in pod 2–10 kg/ha, dehulled cleaned seed 0.5–3.0 kg/ha. Enhanced pod is also available (this is partially processed and consists of a mix of pod and clean seed). Inoculant Group S. |
