Abstrakt: Reports that under a United Kingdom (UK) Government consultation procedure announced in 2001, it was proposed that measures agreed within already designated Nitrate Vulnerable Zones (NVZ's) would be extended to include a considerably increased area of England, Wales and Scotland. How since existing NVZ's in the UK have included relatively little grassland, it is important to examine how nitrate losses from grassland areas, especially from animal manures, one of the major potential sources of nitrate loss, can be minimized.
