Birdstrike
Authorities
responsible for the safety of aircraft have been concerned with the
danger of damage caused by aircraft striking birds while in flight.
Methods of reducing this have been sought, which has brought about
the introduction of “Long Grass Management”.
Tall fescue,
Cocksfoot and Timothy, in that order were found to be the most
suitable for a long grass policy. Tall fescue is the most promising
species due to its erect stiff habit of growth. It is a highly
persistent, frost and drought resistant species, and when managed at
an optimum mown height of 150mm, the most suited to long grass
management.
