This webinar launches the GreenGrass project, which aims to identify novel strategies to reduce use of N fertiliser on grasslands while maintaining productivity and profits.
The webinar will be chaired by Dr Julia Cooper, Senior Researcher in Crop Diversity & Agronomy, who will facilitate the discussion with an aim to pinpoint some clear next steps we can all take to reduce our reliance on purchased N fertiliser.
We’ll hear from James Standen, Newcastle University Farms Director, about his carbon footprint and how he is reducing use of N fertiliser on their mixed dairy and arable farm. Elaine Jewkes will share her expertise on how to minimise losses to the environment from nitrogen sources (both fertilisers and manure). Paul Muto will share his practical experience from research and industry on the best strategies to improve legume contents in pastures and leys. And Alma Joensen from Car Y Mor will talk about their successful trials with seaweed biostimulants on grasslands.
