"Grass Productivity" by Andre Voisin is a comprehensive and insightful guide to understanding the productivity and potential of grassland ecosystems. With a focus on grass as a key component of sustainable agriculture, Voisin presents the essential principles and practices for maximizing grassland productivity and profitability.

He emphasizes the importance of proper grazing management, which includes the duration and frequency of grazing periods, as well as the importance of rest periods to facilitate optimal regrowth.
Voisin's approach revolves around the concept of "rational grazing," where the needs of livestock and grassland ecosystems are carefully balanced. He advocates for rotational grazing systems that mimic natural grazing patterns, allowing for improved nutrient cycling and overall grassland health.
Throughout the book, Voisin presents scientific evidence and real-world examples to support his methods and strategies. He discusses the impact of grass species selection, grazing pressure, and fertilization on grass productivity. Voisin also provides guidance on how to interpret grassland conditions and adjust management practices accordingly.
