Soil type is heavy clay and grass crops are heavy in this part of the country. He employs a traditional grazing system plus a zero-grazing regime sourced from between 40 and 60 acres on the farm, depending on yield. ...
The following article, ‘More than one-third of soils studied in southwest England are highly degraded’ describes field investigations between 2002 and 2011 which identified soil structural degradation to be widespread in SW England, with 38% of the 3,243 surveyed sites having sufficiently degraded soil structure to produce observable features of enhanced surface-water runoff within ...
This study investigated mitigation options for diffuse pollution losses from arable land. Field trials were undertaken at the hillslope scale over three winters at three UK sites with silt (Oxyaquic Hapludalf), sand (Udic Haplustept), and clay (Typic Haplaquept) soils. ...

The purpose of the studies is to explore the relationship generally between agricultural sectors and practices and the environment. The sectoral studies describe the environmental relationship, the practical possibilities to improve that relationship and the various options (with agri-environmental measures) to establish environmental gains. They should contribute to an informal debate and ...
In Austria, where coverage of farmland is also very high, a 7% reduction in use of pesticides in arable crops and 30% reduction in permanent crops has been achieved. Yield decreases are also recorded resulting from these measures. In Sachsen (Germany) the general limitations on all farms in the programme led to a reduction in yield of 7% for ...
The important increase seen in figure 10 for other arable crops (+ 50%) was due to an increase in cropped area, rather than in doses applied. Great Britain: increase in weight of pesticides applied to arable crops and in the area of arable crops In Great Britian in 1996, the ...
