Day 80..
Soil Science and Crop Production
Today we completed a p5 criteria test!!! This was on plant processes. We each selected a crop that we then needed to provide a six month action plan on incorporating planting, growing and cultivation. Within this plan I discussed the plant processes and plant husbandry such as fertilising, irrigation and weed control for my crop of potatoes!
Grassland Management
Today we looked at interpreting a silage analysis, which is carried out to identify any problems in the silage, provide the nutritional qualities and fermentation qualities. We then looked at some samples bought into class and had to work out their order of dry matter content:
Carrot 11% DM
Grass 18% DM
Potato 20% DM
Hay & Straw 87% DM
Grass nuts & Alfalfa 90 % DM
