R460A – Specialist mixture

SKU:OAI007807

R460A is a specialist airfield grass mixture developed exclusively to reduce bird activity and minimise the risk of bird strikes on aircraft. It has been formulated using tall fescue and tetraploid perennial ryegrass to create a coarse, dense, upright sward that is significantly less attractive to flocking and foraging bird species commonly found around runways, taxiways and airside zones.

Description

The tall fescue develops an extensive underground network of rhizomes and deep roots, producing a stable, resilient surface with low palatability to birds and small mammals. This helps discourage feeding and nesting activity, contributing to safer airfield operations. The overall sward remains open, robust and coarse in habit, which is a proven deterrent to species such as gulls, pigeons, corvids and starlings. This mixture is designed for long-term stability and low input, reducing the need for frequent reseeding or intervention in critical aviation safety zones.
