Grower driven strategies to maintain constant ground cover in Central Queensland
This investment will engage growers their advisers using a participatory research approach to evaluate grower driven farm practices that seek to maintain and or re-establish ground cover in Central Queensland farming systems. Growers in Central Queensland (CQ) are faced with a number of situations in which farming practices or environmental conditions results in low ground cover situations including increasing pulse in the rotation, wide row sorghum, and strategic tillage for weed control and stubble breakdown and loss during drought. A participatory learning approach is proposed to demonstrate and evaluate grower driven strategies to maintaining constant ground cover in CQ farming systems with additional extension activities and resources developed as required to promote adoption.
