Over<strong>seed</strong>iNG iNfOrMatiON<br />
Increase sward output by up to 44%<br />
For many years grassland farmers have accepted that productivity will fall over the<br />
lifetime of a sward. This fall can be as much as 50% in terms of animal performance.<br />
Weed grasses play a major role in this as they affect yield but more importantly the quality of the grass. This problem cannot<br />
be controlled by chemical sprays but with good grassland management which includes regular over<strong>seed</strong>ing. young swards<br />
can be maintained in peak production for much longer than previously expected.<br />
• the leybooster over<strong>seed</strong>ing system promotes<br />
the method of routine scarifying and over<strong>seed</strong>ing<br />
of young grassland to prevent premature ageing<br />
• the leybooster over<strong>seed</strong>ing system significantly<br />
improves the productive life and quality of a<br />
sward with yield and quality improvements of<br />
up to 44%<br />
i<strong>seed</strong> ® makes<br />
over<strong>seed</strong>ing with<br />
leybooster even better<br />
A significant increase in viable plants<br />
was the outcome when iSeed ® was<br />
added to the already successful<br />
Leybooster over<strong>seed</strong>ing mixture range.<br />
New trial results confirm that over<strong>seed</strong>ing pays.<br />
Furthermore the results can be dramatically<br />
improved when using iSeed ® . This trial was<br />
conducted in Holland where some grass fields<br />
were suffering badly following an unusually<br />
hard winter.<br />

• the leybooster over<strong>seed</strong>ing system is based<br />
on preventing weed grass ingress that leads<br />
to rapid sward decline in later years<br />
• the leybooster over<strong>seed</strong>ing system works<br />
by annually topping up young swards with<br />
productive ryegrass and clover, therefore<br />
preventing weed grasses from developing<br />
within the sward<br />
