We had a great visit with Dr Judi Earl last month and it reminded me that we have done a bit of a comparison of perspectives on grazing management.

Grazing Management 4 months agoI have a question about fertiliser and seeding. Is it better to apply fertiliser together with the seed, or is it better to apply post-emergence?
-
Hey Will,
I’ve done a lot of research and trials with planting treatments and am of the view that other than very lightly coating seeds with low concentration dilutions of certain nutrients such as cobalt, manganese, molybdenum and zinc, its best to stick to biologicals at planting i.e. compost/vermicast slurries extracts, inoculants etc……

Grazing Management 6 months agoSweet Vernal Grass
I have several paddocks that are dominated by this – any advice I was there on how to vastly reduce it?
I’m working on my soil, amendments and liming every year.
any particular amendment I need to increase?
in the autumn, should I till it and then seed? Or direct drill into it?
-
Hi Will,
liming won’t get rid of it, however it will help with the establishment of improved species like clover and ryegrass. I would suggest improving one paddock at a time. A soil test will be helpful in identifying if phosphorus is available. (Colwell P test in conjunction with PBI). If it is low you will improve your chances of success by…

Mark Tupman started the discussion Ryegrass Recovery in Spring in the forum Grazing Management 7 months ago
Hey Folks,
On the topic of “Grazing in Spring in a Mediterranean Environment”, I’ve taken a couple of pics from my green season grazing paddocks to illustrate what adequate recovery of ryegrass, prior to seed set, looks like.
One pic shows some ryegrass going to seed in spring, before it has reached 3 leaf stage. In this case we would…
