Direct Sowing = Most common method used in Ireland Ploughing the field = Buries the weed seeds Harrowing = Creates a fine seedbed Rolling = Creates good soil/seed contact to increase germination rates

Match the following factors affecting grassland reseeding with their effects:

Weed infestation = Lowers productivity of the field Animal activity = May poach the land, leading to poor quality pasture Under-grazing = Leads to large amounts of poorer-quality grass Over-grazing = Slows down regrowth

Match the following benefits of reseeding grassland with their descriptions:

Improvement of grass and silage quality = Results in higher-quality forage Increased milk production = Leads to higher milk yield Longer grazing season = Reduces the need for silage and costs Constant supply of fresh, leafy, high DMD grass = Over the grazing season

Match the following components of seed mixtures for grazing with their advantages:

<p>Mixture of grasses with different heading varieties = Provides a constant supply of fresh, high-quality grass over the grazing season Seed mixtures with similar heading date = Ensures all grass is ready to be cut at the same time Adding Clover = Raises protein levels and fixes nitrogen in the soil Soil fertility testing = Checks soil pH and N-P-K levels</p> Signup and view all the answers
