This project will involve sowing various trial plots in two hill blocks of wet, peaty ground that run up to just over 425 metres above sea level. Plots will be sowed with an ‘off the shelf ley’ with an increasing percentage of Timothy in each plot.
The aim is to see how much Timothy should be incorporated into the seed mix to allow good establishment, performance, and persistence. Two minimum tillage sowing methods will also be investigated to see which technique gives a higher establishment success.
