Heads of Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Bill 2013: Discussion (Resumed)
11:45 am
Ms Audrey O'Shea:
On the five methods, I have discussed the grazing season and EBI. The others are managing the nitrogen application through fertiliser, manure management, which is associated with that, and energy usage on farm. Nitrogen fertiliser and manure management are inextricably linked and they are covered under the nitrates directive. It is related to the methodology of application of fertiliser on farms and the volume of fertiliser applied.
