Objectives

This project, involving four farms, aims to assess the extent to which using a foliar feed that is based on urea and humic acid can reduce the application of conventional N fertiliser to grass. They aim to investigate the effectiveness of using foliar feed, which is more commonly used in horticulture systems, on a grassland system.

Objectives

Nod y prosiect hwn, sy’n cynnwys pedair fferm, yw asesu i ba raddau mae defnyddio bwyd dail sy’n seiliedig ar asid wrea a hwmig yn medru lleihau’r angen am wasgaru gwrtaith N confensiynnol ar y borfa. Anelir at archwilio’r effeithiolrwydd o ddefnyddio bwyd dail ar systemau glasswelltir, sy’n fwy cyffredin mewn systemau garddwriaeth.

Activities

On each of the four farms, one large field will be split into three sections of equal size and the following treatments will be compared:
1) Nitrogen fertiliser, as per current/ standard practice
2) Foliar feed
3) No fertiliser

The performance of each plot will be measured in terms of:
1) Dry matter yield
2) N content of fresh grass tissue
3) Costs of N application per tonne of dry matter
4) Clover content to assess the impact on species composition of the sward

Activities

Ar bob un o’r pedair fferm, bydd un cae yn cael ei rannu’n dair rhan hafal ac yna bydd y triniaethau canlynol yn cael eu cymharu:
1) Gwrtaith nitrogen yn ôl yr arfer bresennol / safonol
2) Bwyd dail
3) Dim gwrtaith

Bydd perfformiad pob llain yn cael ei fesur yn ôl y canlynol:
1) Cynnyrch deunydd sych
2) Cynnwys N ym meinwe porfa ffres
3) Costau gwasgaru N am bob tunnell o ddeunydd sych
4) Cynnwys meillion er mwyn asesu’r effaith ar gyfansoddiad rhywogaethau mewn gwndwn
