Journal ArticleDOI
Soil biological quality after 36 years of ley-arable cropping, permanent grassland and permanent arable cropping
Nick van Eekeren,Lydia Bommelé,Jaap Bloem,T. Schouten,Michiel Rutgers,Ron G.M. de Goede,Dirk Reheul,Lijbert Brussaard +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that many functions of soil biota that are well established in permanent grassland, are restored in a ley-arable crop rotation, however, due to a reduction in certain species, specific functions of these soilBiota could be reduced or lost.
Journal ArticleDOI
The application of vegetable, fruit and garden waste (VFG) compost in addition to cattle slurry in a silage maize monoculture: Effects on soil fauna and yield
TL;DR: The VFG compost had a larger overall positive effect on the three soil faunal groups than cattle slurry, and adding organic amendments resulted in increased numbers of micro-arthropods, springtails as well as mites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of vegetable, fruit and garden (VFG) waste compost on soil physical properties
Ben L.M. Leroy,M. S. K. Herath,Stefaan De Neve,Donald Gabriëls,Lydia Bommelé,Dirk Reheul,Maurice Moens +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of the combined application of three different doses of VFG compost and cattle slurry and one treatment with only mineral N applied, during 9 years on a range of soil physical properties: aggregate stability, saturated hydraulic conductivity, bulk density, total pore volume and soil moisture retention.
Reducing fertiliser N use by application of ley-arable rotations.

Journal ArticleDOI
Pathways of the dominant follicle after exposure to sub-luteal circulating progesterone concentrations are different in lactating dairy cows versus non-lactating heifers.
TL;DR: A study conducted where cycles of dairy cows and heifers were manipulated to induce the development of the first dominant follicle without progesterone (PLACEBO) or under sub-luteal progestersone concentrations from a progester one releasing intravaginal device (PRID Delta(®)).
