Quick to establish with rapid growth. Very competitive against weeds and fast to recover after cutting/grazing.Ref: FENUGREEK. This is a short term, annual legume. In the UK there has been some trials carried out using the plant as a soil improving green manure. Due to its rapid growth it has been trialled in poly tunnels where productivity is high and gaps in the rotation for fertility building are short. More details...

Quick to establish with rapid growth. Very competitive against weeds and fast to recover after cutting/grazing.
Grass Only
Intensive production for maximum yield of forage with high nitrogen applications.Ref: IP. Perennial ryegrass lasts around 5 years which is considerably longer than the higher yielding Italian and westerwolds ryegrasses. It yields around 13t DM per hectare, it is flexible in use because it can be grazed or cut. It may be made into silage, haylage or hay later in the season. Intermediate varieties generally head around the 3rd and 4th week of May. More details...
