Game Cover Spray

Similar to the challenges encountered when cultivating commercial crops such as wheat or oilseed rape, establishing a game cover crop or wild bird seed mixture involves navigating various factors that influence success. These factors encompass bird or rabbit grazing, weather conditions, and soil characteristics. Nevertheless, there are proactive measures that can be taken to optimize crop establishment, and one crucial aspect is weed population management. Planning a strategy for weed control is essential at this stage to maximize the likelihood of successful establishment.

In many instances, multiple crop species are sown in the same area annually to provide nourishment and refuge for game birds or to enhance wildlife diversity. This practice adds complexity and restricts the choice of herbicides available for weed management.
