About this listen
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.
