Millet & Canary Grass
Millet & Canary Grass
Millet and canary grass can provide nesting cover with a high protein food source. Both crops are of particular interest to pheasant and partridge but will also attract local wild bird life.
Nutrient requirements
Game crops require P and K levels to be ADAS Index 2 and benefit from 20-50kg N/ha in the seed bed or an application once established. Alternatively the site should be spread with FYM before sowing in the spring.
