Laquo; The future of NZ science. Joint research programme focuses on rumen development. Careful management reduces nutrient losses from winter-grazed crops. Posted August 9, 2015 by Bob Edlin in Water. Recent results from Ag Research trials in South Otago, undertaken as part of the Pastoral 21 project, have shown that grazed winter forage crops contribute significantly to the risk of nutrient losses to water but that with careful management, sediment and phosphorus losses can be reduced during grazing.
