MIDSUMMER PASTURE MANAGEMENT

Well, summer has officially arrived and we’re all seeing the traditional British mix of sunshine and downpours, but whatever the weather, it’s time to review the state of your grazing and take action to ensure grass quality is maintained into the autumn months advises Suregrow Fertiliser.

If your horse and pony paddocks have been stressed by drought, deluge or close grazing, the grass will be more than ready for an application of the right kind of fertiliser to support the steady growth now widely acknowledged as the most healthy and natural diet for horses and ponies.

Like any other living organism, grass needs to be supplied with the correct balance of trace elements and minerals for strong, healthy growth and when it is used as grazing for horses and ponies, making the right choice of fertiliser to supply those nutrients can help ensure nutritious pasture and potentially save money on feeds and supplements.

Suregrow fertiliser is a unique formulation designed specifically for horse and pony paddocks. It contains a slower release form of nitrogen proven in trials to produce more sustained, better quality grass growth over a longer period and to facilitate uptake of nutrients essential to wellbeing.

Suregrow will also stimulate the development of strong, healthy roots in grasses, resulting in a denser sward that helps to suppress weed growth and can aid recovery of over-grazed pastures. It is safe to handle and spread, making it easy to apply without the need to remove horses and ponies from the paddock.
