Are green manure cover crops a viable option to reduce the use of agrochemical in the low rainfall Mallee?To see whether green manure a viable management option (in terms of maintenance of ground cover and other agronomic benefits) as we know that terminating cover crops will result in 100% seed set control providing that the crop is effectively killed at an appropriate time. |
