Seeding can take place now, ensure ground is rolled afterwards to establish good seed-to-soil contact.
Before oversowing, ensure leys have been grazed down tightly, or sow straight after a silage cut has been taken. Use seed treated with a bio-stimulant to help establishment.
Harrow to remove trash and improve air to roots, and stimulate grass growth.
Inspect fields for weed, and choose appropriate herbicide. Only apply when weeds are actively growing.

| Good afternoon and welcome to Grassright. |

Grazed grass is the cheapest source of energy for livestock. And to ensure that swards achieve their maximum potential in terms of dry matter yield and quality, it’s essential to take a proactive and integrated approach to managing grassland.
The Grassright Group is a collaboration of four companies – GrowHow, Limagrain, OPICO and UPL – who have teamed up to advise farmers on how best to establish and maintain grassland leys, and use agricultural inputs cost-effectively.
Because maximising grass yield is not just a case of reseeding, or applying more fertiliser. Best practice grassland management encompasses more than this. Sward performance is affected by soil structure and condition, soil nutrient levels, re-seeding frequency and method, seed mixture choice and the appropriate and timely application of fertilisers and herbicides.
This website contains information and advice from the Grassright Group on how to boost sward yields and quality, and includes reports on some of the farm projects that have been undertaken.
