Is the key then to get the other grass/legume species to be the most dominant & to out compete the Guilford grass?

I am familiar with your trial site Justin. We are running 8 identical trials in other catchments…

Last year H2O was the most limiting factor . The N plots also had all other nutrients applied so it will be interesting to see if the Guildford bulb remains a dominant species in the composition!

your site also has a pH over 5 so that should help…

Hi Eric, i have a test site on my place at the moment, we currently have an interesting result, there were three strips that had nitrogen applied last year, along with PK etc based on soil tests, theses strips had most FOO last year, however these 3 strips are now showing the most gilford grass in early growth, very easy to see.

The test site is…

Thanks Kate – that’s helpful

Thanks Eric – I’ll look into it

Ok – will put some on today thanks

Unless the soil is in a healthy and fertile enough state to support the plants adequately

Hi Will,

have you done a soil test of the affected area? My experience has been that Guildford bulb will favour three things. Low pH soils, low Phosphorous levels and to some degree soil compaction.

i have had really good success by lifting pH to over 5 in CaCl and addressing P levels according to soil test recommendations.

cheers

Eric

Everything should dissolve with the exception of the JS mix. So it can go out through the the boom spray but you see a lot of people put it through a 100 micron filter from a dissolving tank.

part of the reason I bought the T&F as it uses a trash pump, that helps mix and dissolve with no filters and a 3mm spray orifice. Removes the majority…
