Germinal Ireland & Teagasc to host reseeding demonstration

GERMINAL Ireland in conjunction with Teagasc is holding a reseeding demonstration on June 14 at 7pm in the Salesian Agricultural College, Pallaskenry, Co Limerick in an event not to be missed full as it will be of cutting-edge knowledge on the topic.

The topics to be discussed at this Knowledge Transfer event include soil fertility, sowing methods and post emergence spraying. Germinal’s Nicky Byrne will discuss variety evaluation from the most recent Teagasc PPI list.

This event is also an excellent opportunity to view the progress of high-performing varieties such as AberGain and AberChoice, which were used to reseed paddocks in the sheep unit of the college in 2017 THESE pictures from John Lynch at Kelliher’s Feed and Agri supplies in Ballymullen display in no uncertain way the qualities of a number of seed mixtures.
