Over time herbs and legumes will naturally begin to recede within a ley, especially under hard grazing or cutting
Overseeding into the worn-out ley can prolong the productive life of the sward and may help to maintain compliance if grown as part of an environmental scheme
Fojtan festulolium and Donata cocksfoot are drought tolerant, palatable and have excellent digestibility
For overseeding advise see pages 10 and 11
Herbal overseeding mixtures should be sown at 4-6kg/acre (8-15kg/ha)
