SFI AHL1 - Pollen and Nectar Flower
Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) AHL1, Pollen and Nectar Flower Mix, requires a pollen and nectar flower mix which produces areas of flowering plants from late spring and during the summer months, to provide food and habitat for beneficial pollinators and natural crop pest predators. AHL1 is a rotational action, and can therefore be carried out on the same area of land each year, or can be moved around the farm. The seed mix must contain a minimum of 6 flowering species and no grasses, with no species making up more than 50% of the mix by weight. At least two of the following species must be in the seed mix - common knapweed, musk mallow, oxeye daisy, wild carrot, yarrow.
