Perennial pastures
In grazing enterprises, the use of perennial species in pastures, in preference to
annual species, helps build soil structure. Managing these pastures by rotational
grazing, and minimising stock pressure on the soil when it is very wet, will also
help build and maintain soil structure.
A fertile soil is a living entity in itself, and the six factors listed above
affecting soil fertility should be optimised in a balanced way for each class
of soil.
Fertility can be enhanced by sound management practices or destroyed by
poor management.
