Grassland and forage crops

Achieving good second cut yields will be more important than ever this year, because of poor first cut yields and low silage stocks. Second cuts are capable of very high yields if these crops are optimally fertilised.

Following a cold spring, many grass fields may be behind where they would normally be and first cut silage yields could well be back. So what is the best advice to avoid compromising both quality and yield?

When getting the sprayer out to control grassland weeds, there is an opportunity to add a foliar fertiliser to improve weed control and ensure the long term success of the sward.
