Massey Harpers Feeds is stating that autumn reseeding could help growers tackle forage shortages, as many start feeding stocks early this year. “Autumn reseeding allows plants to establish their root systems before winter, leading to vigorous growth in the spring, therefore enhancing productivity,” says Imogen Ward. “Reseeding with newer, more efficient varieties can dramatically improve yield, energy content, and nitrogen-use efficiency. This offers a much-needed solution to potential forage shortages next Spring.” She adds that a newly reseeded sward can yield up to 15.5t DM/ha, whereas older leys may contain a larger proportion of unproductive species, as well as broad-leaved…
