> Subject: ridge tillage
> Dear colleagues,
> Next year I intend to establish a research program investigating ridge
> tillage for small grain production in southern Australia's cropping zone.
> Herbicide resistant weeds are now becoming a the major constraint to
> production in reduced till systems, and weeds in general remain the main
> impediment to more widespread organic production.
> Unfortunately, all the information I have been able to source regarding
> ridge till relates to the corn/soybean rotations, which does not
> necessarily translate to our cereal/oilseed/grain legume systems. If
> anyone can help with scientific and/or general information on small grain
> production on ridges, or sources of that I can pursue, it would be much
> appreciated.
