Withholding Fertiliser: What Happens to Pasture Production Over Time?

This lesson explores what happens when fertiliser is withheld on sheep and beef farms, how impacts differ depending on starting soil fertility, and when declines in pasture production and quality begin to appear. Dr Ants Roberts, Science Mentor, explains why high-fertility areas are affected first and how farmers can prioritise limited fertiliser spend to protect productivity, pasture quality and long-term resilience during challenging market conditions.
