Book Synopsis

"Grass Productivity" by Andre Voisin is a comprehensive and insightful guide to understanding the productivity and potential of grassland ecosystems. With a focus on grass as a key component of sustainable agriculture, Voisin presents the essential principles and practices for maximizing grassland productivity and profitability.

Throughout the book, Voisin presents scientific evidence and real-world examples to support his methods and strategies. He discusses the impact of grass species selection, grazing pressure, and fertilization on grass productivity. Voisin also provides guidance on how to interpret grassland conditions and adjust management practices accordingly.
