Integrated Farming Systems in the Medium Rainfall Zone

The expected outcome of the project is that by 2021, growers in the MRZ of the South East and their advisors will have access to new relevant information on diverse crop rotations and integrated farming systems, particularity the incorporation of a pasture phase. This will allow for better crop sequencing decision making, with the aim of increasing farm sustainability, diversity and ultimately profitability, through the adoption of improved rotations and break crop management options.

本项目的预期成果为：至2021年，东南部MRZ区域的种植户及其农业顾问将可获取关于多样化作物轮作（crop rotations）与综合农业系统（integrated farming systems）的全新相关资讯，尤其涵盖牧草种植阶段（pasture phase）的引入应用。此举将助力优化作物时序决策，通过采用改良轮作方案与填闲作物管理（break crop management）措施，最终提升农场可持续性、种植多样性与盈利能力。
