[QUOTE="Ffermer Bach, post: 8075345, member: 51054"] I read an article from the soil association talking about the grass stems, on ryegrass they are smooth, this makes it easy for worms to climb up, while on the other varieties it is hairy, so harder for them to climb up, so a ryegrass dominated sward would increase worm burden more. I wonder too, if in a rotational or high intensity grazing scenario with the higher covers when the stock start to graze combined with the rest periods longer than the worm cycle, that would reduce worm burden on a pasture.
