Mixed grassland: Mineral concentrations vary

Mineral concentrations in herbage from mixed grassland are influenced by botanical composition, harvest and growth. This is one of the conclusions from recent Swiss research. The research was performed by Agroscope in Switzerland and aimed to assess macro and micro mineral concentrations in fresh herbage from mixed grassland, according to a classification method used for nutrients and nutritive values. Analysing fresh herbage for its mineral concentrations is not common in practice. Thus, there
