This could be embarrassingly simple, but I'm a novice grass grower, so bare with me.
Put a ley down in 2016 that yielded well for first cut then come second cut had developed orange growths on head and stem, which eventually led to the stem dying. Leaves also had blotches. This year the ley is weak but is unaffected.
Put a different ley down last Autumn, different seed, but the same has happened. Strong first cut, strong regrowth but regrowth is suffering as the previous ley did. Affecting ryegrass the most, with some effect on the Timothy in the mix. Neighbours ley the other side of the fence is totally unaffected.
Anyone more learned able to confirm what it is/what action to take?
Cheers
