irg is a real intensive grassWe have very little data on other species. but when PRG decided to shut up shop in the drought in 2018 and then also be a very slow plant to recover from drought it made me wonder. PRG is super if you get the rainfall, apply plenty of NPK and have high stocking rates. if anyone of these is out of kilter, then its not the over all answer. I was cutting grass with some cocksfoot in it the other day, and the sheer volume of it is astounding. Think I have seen trails showing similar yield to PRG, but obvs energy figures lower, but it brings serious fibre to the game.
My view is, in the very near future we wont be able to apply adequate nutrition to PRG to give big yield because of regulation force appon us. I found PRG does poorest, when you apply a half way house of nutrients.
prg still likes things to be on its side
CF,timothy etc is and extensive mix,some clover in the bottom and its a good all rounder
