Grassland
Most horse owners are concerned about having over rich grass for fear of colic, laminitis or just grass fat ponies so high yields of grass are not required. So to avoid lush pasture, only small amounts of nitrogen are supplied by this programme, together with the other main nutrients - phosphorus, potassium, sulphur and magnesium which are essential for balanced growth.
This is a typical programme which will suit most equine paddocks however Yara recommend obtaining a soil analysis to measure soil pH to determine if lime is required to adjust the pH and to check if additional P or K are required which will depend on the intensity of use, particularly if hay or haylage cuts have be taken from the paddock.
