Reducing pesticide pollution and the intensity of harvesting can increase crop yield and contribute to climate change mitigation
08.02.2023
In two studies, researchers at the University of Turku have found that carbon sequestration and plant resilience as well as forage pasture yield can be increased through key adjustments in agricultural management. The results provide a roadmap for reducing pesticide loads in soils and the first steps towards increasing climate change mitigation while improving crop yield in grasslands.
