Abstract
- The article reports on the possibility of cutting greenhouse gas emissions, reducing nitrate pollution and improving output from grassland through high yielding ryegrasses with increased water-soluble carbohydrate levels. According to Pete Wilkins, head of grass breeding at the Institute of Grassland and Environmental Research (IGER), the improved protein-energy balance in high sugar grasses is also the reason for significant environmental bonuses.
