[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 7861368, member: 63856"] Sight unseen, 100kg/ha or "a bag to the acre" won't hurt much. It could be as simple as subdividing the field so the stock have to stay there, for a couple of grazing cycles, just to give it a bit more golden hoof - bearing in mind that alot of slurry / effluent is already high in salt unless the whole area is lacking. Or put some salt blocks down that end? 🤷♂️ also bear in mind that high sodium can increase metabolic issues just as high K can, by making Mg availability wibbly-wobbly, so best done well ahead of lambing I applied 500l and 1000l /ha of seawater once as an experiment and definitely saw where I'd missed by the end of summer, they suggest it is in the plant for 6-8 weeks after applying ag salt via topdressing [/QUOTE]
