[QUOTE="Great In Grass, post: 7467489, member: 79"] It sounds as if something needs to be done or this field could become a complete write-off. You could take the Westerwolds option maybe a Diploid which will give you more seeds per kilo which will lead to a more dense sward and be more competitive. Also a little more persistent than a Tet. Recent breeding advances in the development of quality Westerwolds varieties mean it is now a serious option, choose wisely. An IRG blend is an option, a couple of weeks later to cut than Westerwolds. Or a combination of the two above? If you can bite the bullet and can get by with a single silage cut then a proper overseeding mixture would be more beneficial as this will prolong the life of the lay. Longer than the two options above and average seed cost will be lower. Use a mixture using national recommended lists and consider varieties based on sward density, palatability, and yield. [/QUOTE]
