[QUOTE="Agrispeed, post: 5055930, member: 10619"] Does make sense - the more soil biology is active and healthy, the less chance there is for less appreciated bacteria to multiply. How much effect it can have on livestock would be more debatable, but in some cases that can be a fairly direct link. (y) I compared a organic farm to a conventional one both were dairy grazing (organic strip grazed & conventional was 3 day paddocks) and arable - Conventional was biscuit wheat, (Using Glyphosate and a full course of sprays & artificial fertiliser whilst the organic was Triticale following lucerne, (with FYM applied) and the organic farm was unsurprisingly higher in both bacteria and fungi, whether this was the management system or the organic aspect I am not sure. The project I was doing ran out of money before I could go further, but I was hoping to compare biodynamic to organic. Conclusion - Soil treated well is healthier :whistle: [/QUOTE]
