Increased quality and yield: more ingredients (energy and protein, minerals) and higher yield through the introduction of high-quality forage grasses and legumes adapted to the location and management intensity.
Improvement of sward density: Increasing the proportion of undergrowth grasses and species with high regenerative capacity to reduce weed infestation and feed contamination, as well as for better load-bearing capacity and resistance to grazing animals and machinery.
The ideal time for reseeding depends on the location and climatic conditions. Generally, reseeding in spring or late summer is recommended. To achieve sustainable results, it is important that the seed mixture is tailored to the specific type of use and that varieties are established that exhibit good persistence, winter hardiness, tolerance to cutting, and weed suppression.
