LLI-49 project CATCH POLLUTION: Informational field days for farmers in Lithuania

Date: 20. October 2017

Time: All Day

Viekšniai, Lithuania

Growing of catch crops has been recognised as one of the most efficient nutrient reduction measures and at the same time is useful for farmers as it allows to improve soil condition and reduce loss of nutrients. Unfortunately, due to lack of knowledge growing of catch crops still is not very popular among Latvian and Lithuanian farmers.

In order to encourage farmers to grow catch crops, demonstration fields are be established in Venta and Lielupė RBD . The project team invites all farmers to participate in informational field days which will be organised in October, 2017.

Field days in Lithuania will be held:
