The idea is to centralize geese and damage to certain areas and protect important crops elsewhere. The accommodation and repelling fields are selected jointly by farmers and authorities.
Field trials on nitrogen-fixing microbes in corn have yet to show reliable benefits, but work continues on their potential of reducing corn's high demand for the nutrient.
The researchers' findings suggest that the combined use of areas where geese are not disturbed and no-go areas where geese are repelled from fields can help to mitigate the damage to crops as well ...
