ISBN: 978-9090-289-61-8 Jaar van uitgifte: 2015 Producttype: Paper In the Netherlands, the amounts per ha of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) applied have been reduced by approximately 40% since 1996, due to legislative restrictions. However, as the reductions in N and P fertiliser application have …

Bijeenkomst: EGF2015 Auteur: Egan M.J., Lynch M.B. and Hennessy D. ISBN: 978-9090-289-61-8 Jaar van uitgifte: 2015 Producttype: Paper White clover (Trifolium repens L.; clover) can increase the sustainability of grass-based dairy systems and has the potential to increase milk production. This experiment compared milk production from a perennial ryegrass (PRG) sward receiving 250 kg N …
