| Why
use SWEETGRASS ? |
| For Sweeter Grass |
 |
When applied to grass Sodium has been shown to improve its palatability. |
| For Increased Dry Matter Intake |
|
Increased palatability will lead to improved dry matter intake. |
| For Cleaner Paddocks |
|
The sweeter the grass the tighter the grazing. |
| For Top Dressing Beet |
|
Top dressing beet with the combination of Nitrogen, Sulphur, Sodium and Magnesium gives an excellent yield response.
