Episode Your Weekly Grass10 Update
For this week’s Grass10 grazing management update, John Maher says that we're now entering into higher growth rates and reproductive stage of the perennial ryegrass plant:
· Pre grazing yield must target 1300 - 1400 kg DM/ha on all farms
· This will enable the animals to graze and clean out the sward to 4 cm
· Grass should be green leaf from top to bottom
For fertiliser, when spreading on dry stock farms it is important to include P (if allowance available), K and S, especially on paddocks that may have been damaged on the first rotation.
Meanwhile, the featured farmer is Danny Bermingham, from Doonbeg, Co. Clare.
