Non-inversion agronomy is the husbandry of growing crops without the use of the plough; it covers a number of establishment techniques that go under the 'banner' of minimal tillage, no tillage, brodcasting and direct establishment. It is not just a description of establishment techniques, but covers how the subsequent agronomy is influenced by the method of establishment.
This booklet is divided into seven sections which adress the principal results and key points generated by a jointly funded MAF Sustainable Farming Fund/FAR project on non-inversion agronomy, as well as background data covering responses from the MAF SFF, FAR & Crop & Food Research New Zealand Cropping Sequence Survey conducted in October 2006.
