Testing soil should be priority for 2023
Dr Mike Egan takes a seminar on grassland management at the Dairy Women Ireland conference in Thurles on Saturday (November 26).
Soil testing should be top of every farmer’s to-do list this winter to avoid risking long-lasting damage to their soil fertility, one of Ireland’s top grassland experts has urged.
Speaking during a seminar on grassland management at the inaugural Dairy Women Ireland conference, Michael Egan, grassland research officer at Teagasc at Moorepark, warned that farms would not be able to go two years in a row without spreading phosphorous (P) and potassium (K) without damaging soils.
