How to maximise the nutrient uptake and productivity from slurry on your farm
With the deadline for slurry spreading fast approaching, Mark Plunkett joins Emma-Louise Coffey on this week’s episode of The Dairy Edge podcast with his tips and advice to maximise the nutrient uptake and productivity from slurry on farm. Mark urges farmers to make a plan to target the most appropriate fields for slurry application - slurry with low P and K indexes or have had silage cuts during the year. Mark reminds farmers that this is the last opportunity to empty tanks ahead of the winter housing period. Furthermore, Mark says that the window for liming fields is now open. Lime remains a cheap fertiliser product, especially with access to funding from the National Liming Programme. Benefits of liming include building optimal soil fertility, nitrogen mineralisation and increased grass productivity.

The key learnings from farm visits for Grassland Farmer of the Year applicants
John Maher and John O’Loughlin from the Grass10 campaign join Emma-Louise Coffey on the latest Dairy Edge podcast to discuss the key learnings from farm visits for Grass10 competition applicants. John Maher explains that these farms are good at basic grassland management as well as demonstrating excellence in nutrient management and biodiversity. John O’Loughlin highlights the sources of nitrogen from mineralisation, organic fertilisers, chemical fertilisers and alternative pastures such as white clover. The trend in use of chemical fertilisers is declining due to improved nutrient management and regulation. John also explains that farmers need to continue to make better use of slurry and incorporate legumes into pasture swards to maintain grass productivity.For more information on the Grass10 competition visit:https://www.teagasc.ie/crops/grassland/grass10/grassland-farmer-of-the-year-/ For more episodes from the Dairy Edge podcast go to the show page at: https://www.teagasc.ie/animals/dairy/the-dairy-edge-podcast/ The Dairy Edge is a co-production with LastCastMedia.com
