[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 7364367, member: 63856"] I think it would work once in a while, alright. Several Aussies do similar by using the gap between cool + warm season grasses but no need to spray in that case The big downside is if you use low rates of herbicide on a regular basis then you're on track to resistance to that particular herbicide, so I wouldn't use roundup to do it (and didn't use roundup for that reason). I think you'd be better to try it on a "skunked" field rather than a really good growing field as it will soon be back (the pasture) and I wouldn't use any N too early on either It probably depends to a fair degree what recovery times you're all comfortable with. Personally having had experience with both the longer residuals and the tighter grazing, the simple answer for dairy is: whatever gives you the longest practical grazing season and gives the best overall leaf:stem ratio. There is no "right way" because some puggy fields suit the longer grass and some need the longer recovery. Flexibility is key, don't look too hard for "the system" because all systems have failure points [/QUOTE]
