No-tillage systems - reviewing the challenge of adoption in relation to the role of fertiliser placement
Abstract
The adoption of no-tillage systems by New Zealand farmers has been slow, but appears to be gaining momentum driven by economic and soil conservation advantages compared to crop and pasture establishment through cultivation. With improvements in technology and techniques establishment and yields of maize, brassica and pasture from no-tillage is similar to those from cultivation. The role of fertiliser placement in crop establishment by no-tillage and pathways to encourage adoption is discussed. Keywords: No-tillage systems, no-tillage, fertiliser, di-ammonium phosphate, DAP, triple superphosphate, fertiliser placement
