For leys to reach their full potential for yield and quality, an integrated approach to grassland management is essential.
As well as harrowing, this includes: maintaining good drainage, avoiding soil compaction, reseeding with grass and clover mixtures appropriate to livestock and purpose, timely weed and pest control and tailoring fertiliser applications to compensate for soil nutrient shortfalls.
Grass is a very valuable crop and treating it as such can dramatically reduce seed costs.
OPICO's grassland machinery range offers a variety of products to help farmers get more from their grass and unlock hidden profit.
