Proper Irrigation of the Garden Using Intelligent Measurement Technology
In addition to the factors of light, temperature and nutrient availability, water is one of the most important prerequisites for healthy plant growth. If a plant lacks water, this not only inhibits growth, but in the worst case even leads to death of the plant. Since dry periods in summer are not uncommon, irrigation is of particular importance in practice. Water: The basic criterion for a ...

Three step plan for late-cut grass
Why? Because improved grass growth towards the end of the season has the potential to produce silage quality similar to first cut. True, it may not yield as well. But it has the capacity to deliver good protein and energy levels. Which is exactly what’s needed for more litres of milk from forage. And, if you are on a multi-cut system, you may be glad of that extra yield. Unlocking ...
