    Spring Grass Growth: Nutrient Planning for Grazing Success

    Spring grazing is underway, but a late start to the season and high winter rainfall have created new challenges for grassland farmers across the UK and Ireland. In this episode of Yara’s Grow the Future podcast, Ken Rundle is joined by grassland specialist Philip Cosgrave to discuss how farmers can adapt their nutrient strategy to drive grass growth this spring. They explore how rainfall and soil conditions may have reduced available nitrogen and sulphur, why phosphate and potash shouldn’t be overlooked, and how nutrient planning can support stronger grass growth heading into April and May. The conversation also covers practical grazing management tips, the value of slurry as a nutrient source, and how fertilisers containing selenium can help support livestock performance through the grass. If you’re looking to maximise grass production and make the most of every nutrient this season, this episode is packed with timely advice.
