About the live demonstration trial
Cover crops are a powerful tool for improving soil health, managing weeds, suppressing diseases, and supporting farm productivity – but choosing the right species and knowing when (and how) to terminate them can make all the difference.
Join Soil Wealth ICP at the Gatton AgTech Showcase for a hands-on look at a range of cover crop species and mixes, plus different termination techniques in action. We’ll discuss the benefits, practical considerations, and best-practice approaches to get the most out of cover crops in your farming system.
What you’ll see and learn
- Species and mixes – pros and cons of different single species and mixed plantings
- Benefits of cover crops – soil health, weed suppression, and other on-farm advantages
- Considerations – how climate, soil type, and rotation affect your choices
- Termination methods – comparing mechanical, chemical, and other approaches
- Practical insights – lessons learned from Soil Wealth ICP trials
The program is currently being finalised and will be shared in September.
