Weeds, diseases and crop nutrients were the top three imperative issues on farm. Already established in Fresh Zealand, which are also potential pests of clover.
Weeds, diseases and crop nutrients were the top three important issues on farm. Trials focus around species and cultivars, managing pests, weeds, disease and birds, crop input demands, and marketable products. The effect of management on crop and pasture produce and quality, such as irrigation, grazing, fertilizer application, crop establishment, crop rotations and effluent management, is also being investigated. Peas are a very imperative crop to growers as they bear a cherished spring sown break crop.
The NZ Soil Management Field Days is aimed at all areas of cultivation in crop production. Environment Canterbury, with support from FAR and other industry groups, irrigation schemes and water user groups have set up a programmed to urge farmers in the Ashburton district with their irrigation management. FAR's Autumn Sown Wheat and Barley Cultivar Evaluation Book is now available on line and will be in farm mailboxes in a couple of weeks. The Foundation for Arable Research FAR is an applied research and information transfer organization responsible primarily to New Zealand arable growers.
In Fresh Zealand NZ growers of white clover for seed production confront decisions on herbicide products, rates and timings to oversee a number of challenging weeds. Product development work and plant breeding is the responsibility of individual companies but FAR does have a role in the evaluation of cultivars, products for a new use and research to compare products
