Fertiliser use could be reduced with nature-based farming, shows major study
Analysis of 30 long running farm experiments in Europe and Africa by Rothamsted Research has shown that the high crop yields usually obtained using man-made fertilisers can instead be achieved through a combination of more environmentally friendly practices. Using an approach more common in assessing drug trials, this is the first time a major study has compared different farm practices that intentionally work with nature to boost yields and explored how they interact with fertiliser use and tillage practices.
