04 iseed ® iSeed ® 2012 - Generation 3.0 What is iSeed ® Generation 3.0? iSeed ® generation 3.0 is a fertiliser coated grass seed with a new special finisher that enhances the vigour of the emerging seedling at a critical stage of development. iSeed ® generation 3.0 is made up of 50% grass seed, 10% N, 2% P (4.6% P205) and 38% other coating components. Mixtures available with iSeed ® are indicated throughout the brochure Plant vigour, 0-9 The recommended seed rate for iSeed ® is double that of normal, untreated seed to allow for the additional weight of the fertiliser and coatings. 50% Improvement in Establishment Vigour with iSeed ® Results from the DLF-Trifolium trial site in Rennes in Brittany, France, confirm that iSeed ® can have outstanding effects on the successful establishment of a new sward. Trials with italian ryegrass sown autumn 2008 showed a 50% improvement in plant vigour from iSeed ® after only 3 weeks. 50% iMprOved establishMeNt viGOur 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 Plant vigour, average of 7 species and mixtures. 11,000 10,000 9,000 8,000 5 - 15% hiGher yield 7,000 6,000 5,000 4,000 3,000 Vigour, establishment Vigour, spring 1st cut 2nd cut 1st + 2nd cut untreated With iseed ® Improved Establishment Vigour With iSeed ® up to 50% improvement in plant vigour can be observed during establishment. A clear benefit in the successful creation of a dense, high quality and long lasting sward. Higher Yield With iSeed ® 5 – 15% more dry matter can be expected in the first cuts following establishment which equates to around 1 tonne extra dry matter per ha. 5 – 15% Higher Yield with iSeed ® In the same trial from Rennes in France, the benefits continued to be seen the following year with significantly improved yields from iSeed ® resulting in an extra 1 tonne extra dry matter per ha. Kg dry matter/ha Yield of dry matter 1st and 2nd cut, average of 3 ryegrasses. untreated With iseed ® Improved Fertiliser Efficiency With iSeed ® the uptake of nutrients is up to 4 times more efficient than standard seedbed fertiliser which maximises the economic benefit whilst minimising the impact on the environment. Ease of Application With iSeed ® the sowing can be carried out using any standard grass seed drill, therefore no additional investment in specialist equipment is required. iSeed ® technology is subject to patents and patent application by Yara International ASA. iSeed® is registered trademark by Yara International ASA.

High NDF digestibility<br />
makes the difference<br />
What is NDF?<br />
Neutral Detergent Fibre (NDF) is the slowly digestible part of<br />
carbohydrates (sugars) in plants. The content and digestibility of these<br />
are much more important to a ruminant than the rapidly digestible<br />
sugars – Water Soluble Carbohydrates (WSC).<br />
High NDF content<br />
• Is important for the cows health and performance<br />
• Improves the digestion and utilisation of nutrients<br />
• Stimulates the rumen function, stabilises pH and adjusts the<br />
digestion process positively<br />
High NDF digestibility<br />
• Gives around ¼ litre more milk per cow per day for each % unit<br />
increase<br />
• Increases the amount of forage metabolised by the rumen microorganisms<br />
The forage quality element of DLF Triple Crown is based on four<br />
different parameters with digestibility of NDF as the most important.<br />
