The aim of this trial was to assess whether controlled traffic would be practical on Mallee farms
Key messages
The benefits of controlling traffic for yield in the Mallee are uncertain, but could potentially be determined quite easily. However, the benefits for management and input costs should be similar to those experienced by southern Queensland and northern New South Wales controlled traffic farmers.
