After the great success of our “Handbook of Organic Farming”, we have once again summarized our knowledge and experience. We not only have decades of experience in organic farming, we also know what it takes to manage grassland successfully and sustainably!
Just in time for the start of the season, we present now our: “HANDBOOK OF GRASSLAND MANAGEMENT”!
Problems and solutions
The handbook deals extensively with various stress factors, reasons for damaging the turf in summer & fall and incorrect management practices. Many tips for solving these problems are explained comprehensively and in a practical manner.
Maintenance & reseeding of grassland
Periodic reseeding or rehabilitation? Which measure suits which type of grassland – the handbook describes the various maintenance measures in detail. In this way successfully grassland management is guaranteed.
Practical examples – Data | Facts | Figures
In the end, it’s the yield that counts: We have used various practical examples to calculate when reseeding is profitable and how much additional yield you can achieve within a very short period of time. In addition, we executed a year-long test and monitored the increase in milk production based on proper grassland management – a really exciting calculation!
Set yourself the goal of increasing the yield of your grassland and find out about the best practice to achieve it now! Because only FARM POWER guarantees your success!
We are looking forward to receiving your success story in the future!
Weeding in winter cereals
As soon as the soil is dry enough in spring, the first weeding operation can be done in winter cereals. Attention: patience is required here; it should be really dry! Weeding in spring with the AEROSTAR family has some advantages: Breaking the crust in spring ensures the soil is aerated and warms up faster. This means the vegetation can start earlier, the stalk develops better and tillering is stimulated. If the soil is very hard and crusted, a rotary hoe ROTARYSTAR can be used before weeding. After working with the ROTARYSTAR the soil is crumbly and therefore optimal for the next weeding pass. After the first operation, weeding can be carried out up to a crop height of 30-40 cm, if necessary. So you mobilise nutrients, control late-germinating weeds and prevent diseases, as well as create well-balanced growth conditions for the crop and microorganisms.
No weeding when there is a risk of frost!
For weeding in Spring, it is important to make sure that no late frosts during night are expected a few days after weeding. Weeding reduces frost resistance of the crop and therefore it can have a bad effect on the plants when there is frost some days after the weeding.
