How farmer has lifted grass yields

摘要

New Zealand dairy farmer Dan Hinton is improving early spring grazing covers, by applying a product containing the hormone gibberellinto grass.The application is allowing the two herds of cattle he runs to be stocked densely at times when sward density is normally too low.Mr Hinton, who runs a 550-cow block calving herd near Eureka, Waikato, on New Zealand's North Island with his wife and parents, applies NuFarm's SmartGrass product in the early spring to promote initial growth and after cutting or rotational grazing.
