Farming In Focus Summer 2022

Time to Think Lime

Have you got a plan to address acid soils? Lime moves into the soil very slowly, and if it is not incorporated, it can lie inactive on the soil surface for a long time. There is no doubt that incorporation, where possible, is the best way of getting the full benefits from applying lime. Learn more on our blog now: k-line.net.au/news/time-to- think-lime

Managing Stubble after ‘The Wet’ This year’s winter crop in much of Eastern Australia was headed for a bumper year, but concluded with one of the wettest harvests for a long time. Now farmers are faced with the question of how to deal with the large bulk of stubble. The amount Watch for Summer Weeds With the winter crop harvested, attention now should turn to controlling weeds that have emerged in the stubble or are waiting to germinate when soil temperatures are high enough. The challenges with summer weed control lie in the fact that some weeds are showing increased resistance to commonly used herbicides. To deal with this problem, an integrated management approach should be adopted. This involves having a number of tools in your spraying and cultivation arsenal that you can use as the occasion and weed species demands.

Controlled Traffic Farming in the wet Controlled traffic farming (CTF) or tramline farming has been adopted in many cropping enterprises. The system has definite benefits, both agronomic and economic. The main feature of CTF is to limit traffic by agricultural machinery to defined areas, rather than across the whole paddock. Traffic is confined to permanent wheel tracks - limiting compaction to those tracks, while the rest of the seedbed remains undisturbed. The TrackAttack® is designed to maintain and renovate those tracks, levelling out the wheel tracks, ruts & uneven terrain. Learn about the benefits of CTF now: k-line.net.au/news/controlled- traffic-farming-in-the-wet of stubble left on the paddock, the nature of the stubble and the amount of stubble that the sowing machinery can handle, all determine how to manage stubble after harvest.
