About This Book

In temperate agriculture, grasslands play an important role in the provision of forage for livestock. Management of these grasslands is vital in order to ensure that high-quality feed is available. This chapter reviews the short-, medium- and long-term management of grasslands, including stocking rates, the day-to-day management of grazing and harvesting, planning for rotations and silage harvesting, renovation, drainage, reseeding and soil fertility improvement.
