Agricultural Lime, the Natural Solution
|
|
Unless steps are taken to redress the balance of soils by applying a liming material there will be a natural reduction in the lime status of most soils. This booklet, produced by the Agricultural Lime Association in 1999, provides a comprehensive guide to maintaining soil pH, the use of lime, liming materials and yield benefits. Agricultural Lime Association, 1999.

Improved analysis of solid manures and slurries (AHDB IS01)
|
|
The nutrient content of solid manures and slurries can vary considerably from the typical values presented in Defra's Fertiliser Manual (RB209), published in 2010. Given this variability and the increasing cost of manufactured fertiliser it is worthwhile analysing nutrient content of solid manures and slurries.
