Biodiversity can be increased most efficiently by large-scale enhancement where landscape is divided into intensive grassland and high value grasslands says Dr. Bullock #egf2020

[EGF2020 Helsinki, Finland @egf2020]

Intensive grasslands are better than croplands in biodiversity. Change of management, field margins, introduction of new species can increase species abundance concludes Dr. Bullock #egf2020

White clover can have several advantages in grass mixture. Dr. Hennessy from Teagasc #egf2020 concludes that if 20% clover throughout the year, N-fertilization can be reduced 100 kg N/ha. However, in spring same amount of N is used to support grass growth, N reduced in summer.
