Description

A comprehensive guide to organic grassland management has been written by David Younie. This practical manual covers all aspects of managing grasslands in an organic system, providing down-to-earth advice backed up by scientific explanation. The author focuses on key topics such as clover and soil nitrogen mineralization, the role of herbs, and efficient manure recycling. He also discusses strategies for reducing weed invasion, maintaining clean grazing systems, and minimizing the environmental impact of grassland management. Clover plays a central role in most organic farms due to its ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen, making it an essential component of sustainable organic farming systems. This guide is aimed at organic farmers, agricultural students, and advisers and consultants, but will also be useful to non-organic farmers looking to adopt low-carbon, clover-based grassland systems.
