To compare the yields of crops in southern Mallee farming systems in 2009.
Key messages
There is no clear difference between till and no-till crop establishment systems for yield at the Farming Systems Trial.
Low protein in some plots indicated nitrogen deficiency in 2009.
Pre-sowing deep soil nitrogen tests indicated low protein but not always at the levels expected.
