Dr. Patrick Forrestal was tasked with informing delegates of manure and its management at the recent Soil Fertility Conference.
Dairy
Of the dairy farm soil samples analysed by Teagasc in 2017, just 15% had optimal soil fertility levels as indicated by soil pH, P and K.
Grass
Silage swards have higher potassium (K) fertiliser requirements than grazed swards, according to Teagasc's Mark Plunkett.
Hundreds of delegates gathered in Kilkenny today for Teagasc's annual soil fertility conference today, October 17.
Teagasc's annual soil fertility conference, titled 'Optimising soil and fertiliser management for Sustainable Grassland Production', is set to take place in Co. Kilkenny next week.
