Hi I'm
Dr Paul Hargreaves

I am a soil scientist and currently involved as a grassland researcher at the SRUC Dairy and Innovation Centre investigating methods to improve grass and forage yields through improved soil health. My current main areas of interest are:

• Maintaining and improving soil quality
• Developing management tools to aid improved soil quality
• Use of precision and novel methods to improve grassland yield through reduction of soil physical damage - Controlled traffic
• Inclusion of legumes as mixtures and in rotations to enhance soil quality and for a more resilient protein source
• Greenhouse gas emissions from grassland and forages
• Use of laser methane detector to monitor emissions from livestock
