Diploid plants have two sets of chromosomes per cell whilst tetraploids have four. As a result Tetraploids have an increased cell size and have a higher ratio of cell contents (soluble carbohydrates) to cell wall (fibre).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis means that tetraploids have a higher water content per cell and are more palatable. This leads to a high graze out of livestock. However with less tillers tetraploids have a worse ground cover rate which can leave a gappy sward. This can be good for allowing clover to grow but can if are the only grass in a sward can leave the pasture exposed to poaching.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDiploid in comparison have more tillers per plant meaning they will have better ground cover than tetraploids. Due to the lower water content per cell, diploids have a higher dry matter per kg of feed, meaning they cure and wilt easier when making hay or silage. They also offer more energy than tetraploid plants. Both diploid and tetraploid plants will have similar protein levels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA mix of both is required regardless of what you are looking from your grass. However a higher percentage of tetraploid is better for grazing while a greater number of Diploids is more advisable for silage or hay meadows.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnimal performance benefits of Tetraploids\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTetraploid ryegrasses offer several benefits in terms of animal performance. Due to the higher ratio of cell contents to cell wall, tetraploid plants offer several benefits for animal performance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne benefit is that it is more palatable to animals which improves intake and therefore leads to an increased animal production. In addition tetraploid cells consist of easily available nutrients, such as sugars and starches necessary for more efficient rumen function.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHowever it is important to remember that tetraploids higher water content in the cells so when livestock are full from grazing the actual dry matter intake could be lower compared to that of diploids plants.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA mix of tetraploid and diploid ryegrass could achieve a more balanced pasture, retaining a good level of dry matter production, an improved balance of quality feed and if used for silage will be more easily cured than a pure tetraploid pasture.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrazing management\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is important to monitor grazing pressures on tetraploid ryegrasses as they are sensitive to overgrazing because of their excellent palatability. If grazing occurs to a lower level than with diploid ryegrasses it may compromise persistence. Similar to diploid ryegrasses, tetraploid ryegrass require nitrogen applications to a similar level to ensure good growth after grazing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFarm management benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTetraploid ryegrasses have higher establishment costs than diploids as the recommended sowing rate for tetraploids is higher due to the larger size of the seed (2-3 times heavier). If planting tetraploid ryegrass in a mix, the plants will allow up to 10% more clover in the pasture due to the reduced tiller density promoting an increased pasture quality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat are the advantages of reseeding grass?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReseeding grass is one of the highest paying investments that a livestock farmer can take advantage of.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReseeding will deliver higher grass dry matter yields and higher quality of grass.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor every tonne of grass dry matter used there is an increase in profit of up to €160 for the farm.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReseeding will increase your grass production by at least 10 % each year\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAdvantages of using Diamond Grass Seed Mix\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll Diamond Grass Seed Mixes have the best varieties of grass available\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll ryegrass and clover variety are taken from the Irish Recommended list and have been tested by Teagasc.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDiamond Grass Seed Mixes have been designed with studies by Teagasc and elsewhere taken into account.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDiamond Grass Seed Mixes have been designed to increase profits for farmers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere are Diamond Grass Seed Mixes designed for all soil types as well as mixes designed for what you expect from your grass seed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"goldcrop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54638194590033,"sku":"GRASS EASY CLOVER","price":75.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0885\/8229\/1793\/files\/Goldcrop-Grass-Seed.webp?v=1787229644","url":"https:\/\/www.deesidecountrystore.ie\/products\/goldcrop-easy-grazer-high-clover-grass-seed-12kg","provider":"Deeside Country Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
