Beef and Sheep: Change in the air - the English beef and sheep production Roadmap (Phase 1)
|
|
This roadmap benchmarks the industry's environmental impact in terms of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and energy use, and outlines how this can be reduced. EBLEX, Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB), November 2009.

Beef and Sheep: Down to earth - the English beef and sheep production Roadmap (Phase 3)
|
|
This roadmap includes sections on emissions benchmarking, carbon sequestration, waste in the supply chain, retailer activity and farmer case studies. EBLEX, Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB), January 2012.

Beef and Sheep: Testing the water - the English beef and sheep production Roadmap (Phase 2)
|
|
This roadmap examines the relationship between the CO2 equivalent cost of production and profitability for a sample of beef and sheep enterprises, as well as quantifying water usage in production and the value of beef and sheep to the English landscape and biodiversity. EBLEX, Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB), December 2010.

Control of Worms Sustainably (COWS)
|
|
The Control of Worms Sustainably (COWS) Manual, provides advice on how to use cattle wormers in as cost-effective, reliable and sustainable a way as possible. This initiative is delivered through a set of best practice guidelines. EBLEX, DairyCo, Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB), 2010.

Improved analysis of solid manures and slurries (AHDB IS01)
|
|
The nutrient content of solid manures and slurries can vary considerably from the typical values presented in Defra's Fertiliser Manual (RB209), published in 2010. Given this variability and the increasing cost of manufactured fertiliser it is worthwhile analysing nutrient content of solid manures and slurries. Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB), Information Sheet, Summer 2011.

Integrated slug control (AHDB IS02)
|
|
Metaldehyde can be detected in raw (untreated) water above the drinking water standard and was widely detected above the standard in autumn 2012. As a result, unless action is taken, regulatory restrictions may be enforced. Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB), Information Sheet, Autumn 2013.

Nutrient Management Guide (RB209)
|
|
The Nutrient Management Guide replaces the old Fertiliser Recommendations (8th edition - 2010), and provides guidelines for crop nutrient requirements and the nutrient content of organic materials. It is applicable to most field-grown crops including arable, grassland, field vegetables and fruit. Additionally, it provides details of the content and supply of nutrients from a wide range of organic manures, and provides a wide range of background information on nutrient management. AHDB, 2017.
