A comparision for nutrient level in soil and plant between cut and carry and grazing pasture systems

Cultivating pastures in cut and carry (CC) and grazing (GZ) systems may potentially affect nutrient availability in soil and nutrient concentration of grass vegetation. The objective of this study was to compare soil nutrient availability and grass nutrient concentration between the two pasture sy...
