Case study: Cowra cover crop and strip till a winning combination for soil health
Cover crops provide multiple benefits, including reduced soil crusting, increased infiltration rates, reduced compaction, weed suppression, and nutrient cycling.
Combining cover crops with strip till is proving a winner for vegetable soils and crops.
The Soil Wealth ICP team has provided a second case study update from the project’s demonstration site in Cowra, New South Wales, which looks at the soil health benefits from using a cover crop, roller crimper and strip till, which underpinned an outstanding yield result.
This resource has been produced by the Hort Innovation-funded Soil Wealth and ICP project – jointly delivered by RM Consulting Group and Applied Horticultural Research.
