£10.85 kg
Our Bird Strike Grass Seed Mix is a blend of grasses chosen to discourage ground-nesting birds, for use around airports and airfields. Tolerant of frost and drought, it is most suited to long grass management when mown at an optimum height of 150 mm.
The safety of aircraft and the danger of damage caused by birds striking aircraft whilst taking off or landing has long been a concern for authorities responsible for aircraft safety. This has brought about the introduction of "Long Grass Management". Tall Fescue, Cocksfoot & Timothy, in that order were found to be the best suited for a long grass policy. Tall Fescue is the most promising species due to its erect stiff growth habit. It is also a highly persistent, frost and drought tolerant species and is the most suited to long grass management when mown at an optimum height of 150 mm.
