Whole-farm management of soil nutrients drives productive grazing systems: the Cicerone farmlet experiment confirms earlier research
The Cicerone Project included a study of three 53-ha farmlets, each subjected to a different
management system. The systems varied first in their input of fertilisers and sown pastures …
