    This is a better year for clover for some reason. Could be thats the conditions weren't right for germination or maybe your post emergence spray checked the clover. Could be a number of things

    It's was very dry last September, I sowed rape in August. It did not germinate for 4-5 weeks and it was direct drilled. When did it germinate, if it was late September then the clover may not have been strong enough to survive the winter, or else it germinated and died.

    Its to do with the year and time of sowing, sowed agritech 4a 2 years ago with 1kg of clover and there's no clover in it could do with stitching in some. when it was sown in June 23 it rained for months after it was sown that's what I put the bad clover quantity down too.

    Reading back along here people recommend DLF N4 as well as Germinal top 5 Extend grass seeds. I'm looking for a seed for a field that can be too soft to graze in a wet Spring and can get soft again mid October in a wet Autumn.

    Would Germinal top 5 be best option or is there a better one. I'd take first cut in May and then graze for rest of the year.
