HERBAGE RECOVERY OF 'MASSEY BASYN' YORKSHIRE FOG FOLLOWING A SEED HARVEST

Abstract

Aftermath recovery of 'Massey Basyn' Yorkshire fog (Holcus lanatus L.) following seed production and the retention of this species as a dominant within the sward can be aohieved without the need for post seed harvest cultivation or cutting. However, where a late seed crop has been taken, nitrogen should be applied to the area to encourage the rapid recovery of 'Massey Basyn' Yorkshire fog at the expense of other grasses which may be present.
