Plantain (Plantago lanceolata): from weed to multi-functional component in sustainable dairy-farm systems

Plantain (Plantago lanceolata): from weed to multi-functional component in sustainable dairy-farm systemsThis chapter explores the potential of narrow leaved plantain (ribgrass, Plantago lanceolata L.) to perform a range of roles in promoting more sustainable pasture based livestock systems. The chapter begins by looking more broadly at the challenge of nitrogen losses from grazed pastures. This provides a context for first introducing plantain as a forage source. The chapter then explores recent research on the ways plantain affects nitrogen leaching.
