Summer Fallow Management TrialsImproved fallow management is thought to be a potential area for improved winter crop performance. However, the recent rise in fallow maintenance costs due to the increased cost of fallow herbicides such as Glyphosate has placed increased scrutiny on the benefits of summer fallow maintenance for winter crops. In an effort to help provide objective information for farmers and agronomists the efficiency of summer rainfall storage for winter crops and the effect of management strategies on fallow efficiency were investigated in the summer of 2007/08. Detailed results of these studies have been published for those seeking further information or clarification.
