Soil is one of Australia’s most valuable resources. Each year, soil contributes around $63 billion to the Australian economy through agricultural production. It stands to reason that soil should be kept healthy and sustainable. This is part of why zero till farming, with its less disruptive approach to farming, has grown in popularity.
Inter-row sowing has been a greatly debated practice in Australia’s agricultural sphere since the early 2000s. The practice involves retaining the previous year’s stubble rows and sowing crops in between those rows. Inter-row sowing is known to help improve crop emergence in various ways due to the retained stubble providing a number of benefits.
