[QUOTE="Global ovine, post: 7064620, member: 493"] For pasture renovation, not renewal, 300 mls is adequate. The more recent glyphosate brews with additives can be used at reduced rates for the same burn off effect of grasses. The terrain of most grazing land in NZ is too steep to get machinery over, in those cases all pasture renovation is done aerially by fixed winged aircraft or helicopters. If improved cultivars and species are to be added, a light dose followed by a topdressing of seed works well when sufficient moisture exists. Where ground machinery is possible, this system shortens the down time between grazing using a direct drill , as resident clover remains and becomes dominant. In all situations, this system promotes a huge clover flush when soil temperature exceeds 15 deg.C for lamb finishing. The resultant N from this summer clover flush promotes the autumn dominance of the introduced grass. This works wonderfully well when precise rotational grazing is practiced, as it promotes the more erect species and suppresses the more prostrate weed type grasses, thereby increasing DM production and most importantly digestibility. In this situation permanent pastures can be maintained at a feed quality equivalent to a 3 year old ley out of ploughing. Poor pasture management is the reason why most pastures turn to crap. Not that seed merchants would like that point made too often. [/QUOTE]
