Improving grassland and pasture management in temperate agriculture Edited by Prof. Athole Marshall and Dr Rosemary Collins
This volume reviews research on more sustainable use of grasslands to optimise livestock nutrition whilst protecting biodiversity and delivering a range of broader environmental benefits. It assesses grassland functions and dynamics, including plant-soil and plant-animal interactions as well as reviewing key aspects of grassland management, including sowing, soil health, irrigation and weed control as well as monitoring. The book concludes by reviewing the wider aspects of sustainability such as protecting biodiversity as well as silage processing. Click here for more information
