Compiled by Andrew Sommervaille, this 66 page publication presents a comprehensive review of oils, surfactants and other additives for farm chemicals. The booklet provides farmers and service providers with a greater understanding of adjuvants and their application in agriculture. At a time when the industry is quickly moving toward best management practice (BMP) and accreditation, it is vitally important that all industry personnel have a clear understanding of the impact of adjuvants in farm chemical applications.
‘Adjuvants’ answers previously unanswered questions about adjuvant selection and application and is poised to become a ‘well thumbed’ farmers’ and agronomists’ friend.

This guide is primarily a collection of growers experiences, outlining agronomic aspects and mechanisation considerations required for successful deep sowing.  Selection of a suitable point, adaptor and press-wheel are critical, but of equal importance are seed quality issues and seeding rates.  Sowing is ultimately the most critical operation in the farming system.

This booklet introduces some of the main issues that must be considered when you use controlled traffic farming.  Controlled traffic farming can be defined as a system whereby cropping paddocks are divided into zones with permanent matching wheel tramlines.  These enable farming equipment of a similar width (or multiple widths) to travel across paddocks on predetermined tracks.
