Show Notes

David Wall, Teagasc Researcher at Johnstown Castle, joins James Dunne on this week’s Dairy Edge to discuss correct nutrient management use on dairy farms this spring. 

 

David outlines how the correct timing, rate and type of fertiliser is key to ensure efficient use of the nutrients available on farm. 

 

He makes the point that when conditions are correct, it would be an opportunity lost not to apply the required nutrients in order to increase the amount of grass grown and set the farm up for subsequent grazings.
