Grassland is, simply put, agricultural land used for growing herbaceous plants or grasses, including meadows and pastures. Meadows and pastures are extremely important areas for cattle breeders. Because maintenance treatments on grasslands allow for obtaining good quality fodder and high yields, which has a huge impact on the production results achieved. Check how such areas should be taken care of.

When to start maintenance treatments on grasslands?
To obtain the intended effects after agrotechnical treatments, first of all, the period of entry of the agricultural machine into green areas should be carefully selected. Applications should be avoided during frosts, water stagnation and when the soil is too dry or wet. If conditions on grasslands are favorable, you can start work even before the plants start growing.
What care treatments should be performed?
Maintenance treatments on grasslands include: dragging i rolling. The first treatment involves removing the remains of old turf, any unevenness of the ground (molehills) and stimulating herbaceous plants to grow. For this purpose, a tool called drag, which sinks into the soil as it is dragged across the field surface. It usually consists of an arm to which working sections are attached, in the form of heavy elements such as beams or wheels arranged in rows. The heavier the fiber elements, the stronger their impact on the soil.
However, rolling using cultivation rollers it is needed after each winter because the earth, under the influence of large amounts of water, raises the upper layers of the soil. As a result, the substrate loses its compactness and the plant roots break off. Rolling helps to press the soil so as to restore contact of the severed roots with the ground. In this case, large diameter smooth shafts work best. In turn, if there is a high content of stones in the soil, it is worth using the so-called meadow ring roller. prismatic.
What agricultural machine can be used for grassland?
When working on grasslands, it is worth using 2-in-1 agricultural machines, i.e. those equipped with a dragline that levels the field, crushes clods and levels molehills. This is one of such machines HUGE 6.2 WŁÓKA tillage and seed roller. It is extremely good at improving the soil structure in fields for growing crops, meadows and pastures, through rolling combining the fibers. An additional advantage of the machine are its actuators, which maintain the same working height over the entire width of the shaft. As a result, the field is uniformly subjected to rolling. Performed by tillage and seed roller tasks have a direct impact on retaining water in the soil, improving the structure and preventing erosion.
