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. |

Is controlled traffic farming altering crop performance across seeder widths in CWFS districts?To test the hypothesis that over time in controlled traffic farming systems the repeated uneven spreading of header residue back over the tram track width would result in changed soil conditions that would ultimately lead to different “management zones” along the tram track. |
