Hi folks
Couple of pictures attached of a field of mine that isn't performing. It is rotationally grazed but isn't keeping up with the rest. Was soil tested last year (5.9) but access is an issue so only got granular lime. There were small brown patches last year but a lot worse this year. Other fields around this one have similar ph but outperform it by a long way.
Is it caused by compaction? No heavy traffic on it, fertilised every 3/4weeks and never tramped. Wetish ground, black moss type but dries quick.
Any other ideas? Seen it before?
What can I do with it? As access is difficult I'm limited in what I can do but if anyone has seen this before and improved it I will find away around doing it.
Added a photo of field opposite.
Thanks
