Grassland Agronomy Solutions: Seasonal expert technical advice and targeted cost effective Agronomy

Whether used for grazing, cutting or silage, well-managed swards support better animal health, lower feed costs and improved resilience across farming systems.

At Nufarm UK we offer a complete range of grassland Agronomy Solutions—combining proven crop protection products, biological innovation and trusted advice to help farmers get more from every acre.

Effective grassland management means tackling a variety of challenges throughout the growing season. Weed infestations, declining sward quality and soil fatigue can all impact productivity. That’s why Nufarm UK delivers an integrated portfolio that covers both chemical and biological tools to boost grass growth, protect yields and support long-term sustainability.

Controlling competitive broadleaf weeds is a vital first step in preserving grassland quality. Species such as docks, thistles, nettles and ragwort reduce dry matter production and grazing utilisation. Nufarm’s selective herbicides are designed to deliver targeted control without compromising valuable grass species.

Thrust, a dual-active product combining 2,4-D and dicamba, is ideal for managing a wide spectrum of problem weeds such as docks in established grassland, offering strong systemic control and excellent grass safety. Meanwhile, Depitone Ultra, a modern ester formulation of 2,4-D, is a versatile option for boosting the control of buttercup and ragwort infestations across a range of grassland scenarios. For spot treatment of more persistent species like nettles and woody weeds, Nettlex 60 provides triclopyr and clopyralid, giving excellent control right down to the roots.

For total sward renewal or field clean-up ahead of reseeding, Kyleo, which is a co-formulation of glyphosate and 2,4-D, offers an advanced knockdown solution — effectively controlling grass and difficult broadleaf weeds in one pass. Once the new ley emerges, PastureMaster is an excellent product for tackling a wide range of seedling weeds, which will outcompete the new grass if left untreated.

However, a high-yielding pasture isn’t only about removing the bad — it’s about supporting the good. This is where Prairie Verte, Nufarm’s biostimulant for grassland, plays a game-changing role. Formulated from plant-derived active ingredients, Prairie Verte stimulates root development, improves nutrient uptake and enhances stress tolerance in grass species. Especially valuable during periods of drought or after heavy grazing, it helps maximise regrowth and maintain sward density — crucial for both cutting and grazing systems.
