Cocksfoot as a marker for fixed track farming

Improves efficiency and reduces soil compaction through fixed wheel tracks marked with dog-tooth patterns

or

Detail description

In the 1980s, Börje Persson developed an environmentally friendly solution for permanent tramlines in agriculture by sowing dog’s-tooth grass. This reduces the need for double-passing, minimises soil compaction and improves the efficiency of fertiliser application. The solution saves time, increases yields and works even with vehicles as narrow as 2 cm. It is simple, economical and commercially viable, with potential for the entire forage chain.
