Reseeded swards have higher yields

Reseeded swards have higher yields, better digestibility and superior growth rates in the autumn and spring.

Research at Moorepark has shown old pasture to yield on average, 3 tonne of Dry Matter (DM) /ha less than perennial ryegrass swards.

In Moorepark, pastures with 100% perennial ryegrass had February growth rates of more than twice those with 40% perennial ryegrass. The annual improvement in profitability is worth over €200 per hectare for the 100% perennial ryegrass sward.
