520 _aA conservation project started less than three years ago shows that game and wildlife thrive if farmers spare a six metre wide strip round the edge of cereal fields when spraying. The potential yield loss is small but wildlife benefits are considerable and a management technique to increase grey partridge numbers has been developed. The project is run by the Game Conservancy and is financed by subscriptions from farmers and landowners and a grant from the Natural Environment Research Council .
