Integration of legumes in grassland

Comentarios sobre la sostenibilidad

A diverse grassland is more stable than grassland with a high share of grass. Especially legumes, such as alfalfa are more drought tolerant than grass. It is important to have fields with different grassland compostions so the risk for yield losses is spread. Furthermore, diverse grassland increases the fodder value for the animals, stores N in the soil, improves the soil structure and the biodiversity on the field and reduces N2O emissions.
