Webinar 1: The language of grazing lands research”
Webinar 2: Grazing has a neutral or positive effect on soil carbon in Florida pastures
Webinar 3: Can soil organic matter really be changed on grazinglands in North Carolina?

Did you evaluate fertilization effect in?

Fertilization was not a treatment in this design. Other studies have investigated fertilization with mixed results. These results could be summarized for grasslands if needed.

Did you evaluate fertilization effect in SOC or TSN?

Fertilization was not a treatment in this design. Other studies have investigated fertilization with mixed results. These results could be summarized for grasslands if needed.

I have seen fields full of weeds with muddy soils and the rancher claimed to be using rotational grazing. How can rotational grazing be called “improved”. Are we missing something?

Indeed, rotational stocking by itself is not necessarily an improved practice when appropriate stocking rate is not considered first. Type of forage and condition of the sward from past management should be considered so that an improved trajectory can be developed.

ABOUT LTAR

 

The USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS) Long-Term Agroecosystem Research network consists of 18 Federal and university agricultural research sites with an average of over 50 years of history. The goal of this research network is to ensure sustained crop and livestock production and ecosystem services from agroecosystems, and to forecast and verify the effects of environmental trends, public policies, and emerging technologies.
