Soil quality key to boost grass output

Getting soil Ph right is the most important factor to maximise fertiliser usage and grass production, says Teagasc soil researcher David Wall.

He urged farmers at a dairy seminar in Boherbue, Co Cork, to maximise their grass growth and grass utilisation, and to increase their financial knowledge of their business.

He advised dairy farmers to apply lime to correct low soil Ph, based upon results from soil sampling.
