[QUOTE="steveR, post: 5618644, member: 66976"] As Brisel say's Govt has to provide the necessary carrot using sensible financial incentives if they want Farmers as a whole change their farming systems to something deemed to be "improving soils, et al" or whatever the latest fad or concern might be. Fallows may yet come back into fashion...? ;) By "Biological fertiliser", I guess you mean good old FYM. In the absence of livestock in the area, then it becomes difficult, and you then see chicken muck and sewerage sludge travelling big distances on the roads. Regular chopping of straw will I guess, improve matters over time and from experience several years ago, an application of sludge onto chopped straw was a great lead-in to a subsequent crop. BUT, sludge brings with it all sorts of issues from heavy metals in industrial areas where separation between domestic and industrial sewage is poor.... Makes sense to complete the Nitrogen cycle with human waste though! [/QUOTE]
