The aim is to find the most viable companion crop, suitable for UK growing conditions, which will establish and maintain quality maize forage.<\/p>\n<p>Environmental benefits of an undersown sward include improved soil structure, reduced compaction and better travelling for harvesting machinery. Main crop yield is maintained while the undersown crop can be put to another use or ploughed back as \u2018green manure\u2019. Importantly, particularly in low lying areas, the natural vegetation assimilates nutrients and retains them in the soil rather than allowing run-off into water courses.<\/p>\n<p>In Phase 1 of the trial, plots of early maturing maize have been undersown simultaneously with different varieties of grass, clover and vetch. Further sowings of vetch, peas and other legumes will be carried out in the second phase of the trial next week.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_55715\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-55715\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-55715 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/L3-Dip-in-Agric-students-will-be-involved-with-project-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"Level 3 Diploma in Agriculture students will be involved with the project\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/L3-Dip-in-Agric-students-will-be-involved-with-project-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/L3-Dip-in-Agric-students-will-be-involved-with-project-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/L3-Dip-in-Agric-students-will-be-involved-with-project-1030x684.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/L3-Dip-in-Agric-students-will-be-involved-with-project-1500x996.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/L3-Dip-in-Agric-students-will-be-involved-with-project-705x468.jpg 705w, https:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/L3-Dip-in-Agric-students-will-be-involved-with-project-450x299.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-55715\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Level 3 Diploma in Agriculture students will be involved with the project<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The college\u2019s agriculture students will assist with monitoring the plots alongside agronomists from Agrovista, who are advising on the crop agronomy, seed and chemical choice. There are plans to hold open days for farmers once growth is established.<\/p>\n<p>Undersowing grass and legumes under maize is a growing practice in Europe, where farmers on comparatively small mixed units produce a second crop suitable for grazing or game cover, or for direct drilling with cereal. This dual system is particularly popular in areas where high volumes of forage maize are grown for on-farm bio gas production and farmers want to keep within environmental regulations and avoid being left with unproductive maize stubble.<\/p>\n<p>To enable the simultaneous planting of maize and grass in the trial\u2019s first phase, Pottinger used its award winning Pottinger Aerosem 3002 ADD drill which features a Precision Combi Seeding (PCS) system combining a precision maize drill and a conventional pneumatic seed drill on the same three metre unit.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_55716\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-55716\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-55716 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Robert-Yardley-explains-project-to-L3-Dip-Agric-students-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"Robert Yardley explains project to Level 3 Diploma Agriculture students\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Robert-Yardley-explains-project-to-L3-Dip-Agric-students-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Robert-Yardley-explains-project-to-L3-Dip-Agric-students-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Robert-Yardley-explains-project-to-L3-Dip-Agric-students-1030x684.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Robert-Yardley-explains-project-to-L3-Dip-Agric-students-1500x996.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Robert-Yardley-explains-project-to-L3-Dip-Agric-students-705x468.jpg 705w, https:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Robert-Yardley-explains-project-to-L3-Dip-Agric-students-450x299.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-55716\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Robert Yardley explains project to Level 3 Diploma Agriculture students<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Project team leader is Robert Yardley, a Reaseheath agriculture undergraduate who made the links with Pottinger at Agritechnica in November while he was at the show on a scholarship from the Oxford Farming Conference.<\/p>\n<p>Agrovista Agronomist John Ball said: \u201cWe are excited at this opportunity to demonstrate cutting-edge companion planting which will have a positive impact on both environmental and farming profitability.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe purpose of these trials is to investigate how we can reduce the environmental impact of growing maize, particularly when considering potential legislation. We need to understand the best method of establishing undersown crops and which varieties are most suited to UK conditions. We don\u2019t want to compromise maize yield, but to help farmers maintain profitability through increased land usage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shaun Groom, General Manager of Pottinger UK, emphasised: \u201cWe are delighted to be part of these trials, which are a prime example of agricultural companies working together to increase standards of conservation farming while helping farmers optimise cropping.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a manufacturer, we strive to respond to the changing needs of our industry through the use of precision technology. Our Aerosem dual precision system can be used for a variety of crop combinations and can carry out all procedures, from levelling and ploughing to planting and harrowing, in one efficient operation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reaseheath\u00a0Principal\u00a0Meredydd\u00a0David added:\u00a0\u201cWe are\u00a0delighted to host\u00a0these\u00a0cutting edge trials in partnership with such excellent leading companies.
