Grass Cover
Henry Doubleday Research Association

Four months after a September sowing, Maxicrop significantly improved perennial ryegrass cover (see graph) ensuring almost double the number of established plants. Over the same four month period, shoot dry weight increased by 51%.

“The improved ground cover is important in helping to improve the
ability of the grass to suppress weeds. There was clear evidence
of increased plant growth following use of Maxicrop.”Margi Lenartsson – HDRA
