During wet, cold winters, many grasslands can develop a hangover of dead, mouldy grasses. These create the perfect environment for Fusarium and other diseases.In addition, old grass can compromise the quality and palatability of pasture fodder in spring. In order to prevent these side effects, plant residues should be raked out at an early stage.
The best tool to ventilate the turf is a rake with strong tines and small tine spacing. The raking brings light and air to the turf, allows the soil to warm up earlier, and stimulates the vegetation. The rake’s levelling bar ensures soil accumulations on the surface are removed and spray residue is dispersed.cover crops or reseeding grassland.
Introducing the seed directly into the tine section at
the same time as raking the turf maximises seed-to-
soil contact, thus increasing germination rates. Easily
