Why re-seed

Top grasses fuel efficient farming.

Introduction

In order for your grassland to be productive, the farm must be comprised of perennial ryegrass dominated swards.

At present, the level of reseed taking place on farms in Ireland is far too low and needs to be increased. In order for your grassland to be productive, the farm must be comprised of perennial ryegrass dominated swards.

Recent Moorepark research shows that old permanent pastures produce, on average, 3 t DM/ha/year less than perennial ryegrass dominated swards. Reseeding is a highly cost effective investment. With regular reseeding the grass growth capacity of the farm can be increased substantially and this in turn means the annual return on investment is large.
