Minimal Soil Disturbance Sowing In New South Wales And Its Relevance To Reducing Water Erosion In Western Australia, K J. Bligh

Resource management technical reports

Narrow-winged points can readily be fitted to existing tined seeders to immediately reduce water erosion in Western Australia. Press wheels may improve crop establishment, particularly with early sowing in this predominantly winter-rainfall region.
