Making the most of manures

Slurries and solid manures are valuable fertilisers but may also be potential sources of pollution. With increasing economic and environmental pressures on farm businesses, it makes sense to exploit the fertiliser value of manures, while taking action to prevent pollution.

IGER, ADAS and SRI have produced a series of booklets explaining how to make better use of slurry and manures. You can access the booklets by following the links below:
