Another @Multi4More harvest from Johnstown Castle. Great to get out for some fieldwork putting chambers back in the plots, for measuring nitrous oxide emissions across plant diversity and nitrogen levels.

Big thanks to @SnikeLovesYou + interns at JC + PhD students @seandenogla &@RachieConnolly at
UCD Lyons Farm + Danielle Varley at AFBI, for their work on this project! @PallasTb @lyBRIDGET @HelenBSheridan @OlafUCD @SuzanneHigginsM
@CarolineBrophy5 @shobaker @Zoe_C_McKay – at Wexford, Ireland
After a very wet spring, harvesting of our Multi4More field experiment is finally underway! 😊
Investigating combined effects of plant diversity and nitrogen fertiliser level (0 to 150 kg N) on agronomic production, nitrous oxide emissions and more…

A very busy but enjoyable few days comparing methane produced by ewes and lambs grazing a multi species sward vs a PRG monoculture @Multi4More . Big thank you to @PallasTb and the team at @ucdlyonsfarm for all the help and @Mc_CarronPaddy @TeagascSheep for providing the PAC 🐑🌱

Livestock Farmers!🧑🌾👨🌾
Do you use Multispecies Swards?
Do you refuse to use them?
What advice would you need to be better-informed?
Please let us know [surveymonkey.com/r/NHW7RQS]

🌱 Exciting news!
The #Multi4More plots have been sown @ucdlyonsfarm as part of multi-site experiment including @TeagascEnviron & @AFBI_NI sites, aiming to enhance multispecies mixtures for sustainable agriculture. Well done @seandenogla, @HelenBSheridan & Eugene!!

Multispecies swards contain a mixture of specifically selected species from grass, legume and herb functional groups and has increased yields with lower fertiliser N, high forage quality and good animal performance compared to perennial ryegrass #FarmingforSoilHealth #GSBC23
