Earlier grass is becoming more valuable than ever with winter forage reserves running low on many farms. Nutrition can play a vital role in influencing early growth.

A new reseed can often be the most challenging crop to establish on grassland farms. The main benefits of new swards are improved dry matter (DM) yield, and improved nutrient use efficiency.
