GrassMax
GrassMax Base has been specifically designed for new reseeds where subsequent overseeding is routinely intended.
This principle allows the use of significantly higher yielding grasses and can increase annual yields by up to 30% compared to more traditional mixtures. Routine overseeding will be required however to maintain plant numbers at the necessary levels to achieve these yield benefits.

Guidelines for successful overseeding
Field Preparation:
Remove all surplus grass growth by cutting or hard grazing. Scarify the area in opposite directions using the Kockerling grass scarifying harrow.
Sowing:
Sow at the same time as scarifying with around 25kg/hectare (10kg/acre) of the appropriate GrassMax seed mixture. Roll immediately to consolidate the ground and ensure good seed to soil contact.
Timing:
Minimise competition from the existing sward by sowing immediately after the last silage cut of the season or after a hard graze in Spring or Autumn.
Fertiliser:
When clover is included wait until at least 30 days after sowing before applying any Nitrogen fertiliser to minimise competition from the existing sward. If clover is not included this period can be reduced to 15 days
Livestock re-introduction:
After cutting wait until aftermaths have fully recovered. After grazing keep stock on for 10 days then remove and allow sward to recover.
