Conventional broadacre | Phase, liming (incorporated), synthetic fertilisers, herbicides, minimum tillage, livestock supplementary nutrition licks |
Conventional but unusual | Livestock proportion, livestock genetic performance, lime application volumes, refurbished equipment, crop selection (frost and livestock synergies), livestock infrastructure, crop grazing*, reefinating |
Conventional in other industries but not widely practiced in broadacre | Sap testing and foliar application (mister) especially traces and calcium (horticulture), silage (dairy), kelp (horticulture / turf / home gardening industries) |
Unconventional | No insecticide sprays / only re-active fungicide applications / no chemical groups B, N and I / crimp roller** (plant control) / plant nutrition applications (cape weed & crop grazing utilisation) / tillage radish (soil compaction / observed to be a good companion to clover***) / confined feeding to reduce BCS over 2nd trimester (twin & triplet bearing composite ewes BCS 4 to 3) / SOA (in solution) + molasses to speed residue breakdown before seeding / banded liquid Ca at seeding |
