Control of Grub Pests Top-Dressing Pasture Advice
In pasture grub control the recommended measure is top-dressing with 1 cwt superphosphate per acre. It will not kill grubs but helps pastures recover after rain and reduces dense grass cover that aids infestation. White curl grubs prefer grasses. superphosphate boosts clover growth, aiding pasture carrying capacity even if grasses are affected.
Silage vs Hay Fodder for Balanced Ration
A historical note explains that silage stores more digestible matter per cubic foot than hay, with less nutrient loss when properly conserved. Ceres silage is not a complete feed and lacks protein, while lucerne hay provides strong protein. To balance rations, increase lucerne area and supplement silage with protein rich fodder.
